NEVER run a 1.2mm HG unless you are positive you want a sizeable increase in compression ratio... especially on a turbo equipped car and especially since you're going to have to have material shaved off the head and most likely the block deck to get everything smooth enough for a metal HG. The stock HG is 1.37mmm when compressed. Look at other manufacturers for more options in thickness. If you're completely sold on HKG Stopper HGs then remember that the head and block decks MUST be smoother than glass!!!

oh, ok. i will look into it then. and no, i'm not sold on the HKS, it just seems thats what alot of people use? i havent really started the full research yet. do you have any recomendations?

i totaly understand what your saying. my mechanic told me that too, and i'm just crossing my fingers that its not a cracked head or something more serious......
and same question to cre btw
