got the head skimmed on a vts engine last year. the first skimm of the engines life and it wasnt warped atall. dont know how much it was skimmed but id expect not alot was taken off. the engineering firm didnt record the thickness either.



im starting to build the engine back up again and wondering what thickness headgasket will be the safest option

thanks

standard TU5J4 repair gasket will be fine. Standard gasket is 1.5mm, so plump for a 1.7mm : http://www.gmcmotorsport.co.uk/engine/head-bolts-gaskets/1-7mm-head-gasket/prod_557.html
