Head, ive measured it. is it any good?

[Kenobi]

ive just measured a head here from a Renault 5 GT Turbo. Its 73mm. Is that ok ? I mean can i sell it or is it for the bin?

Is this the head you were measuring before with a tape measure?

[TrixNFlix]

Yeah it's still good to sell, at 73mm there I'd plenty of meat left on it. But better for someone running standardish boost . Or someone who knows what there doing and want a high comp engine.

[markey b]

mine is less than min height, with silly boost, and still ok!??!?

[TrixNFlix]

What's yours out of interest markey? Less than 72?

Has your timing sensor been moved on the gearbox by any chance?

My head is 72.5mm, I run 20psi manifold, std ignition timing, chargecooler and a vnt and ive never had any problems with det or head gaskets, if it helps anyone

First post!

Could i use the standard c3j head and pistons on my camparse c3j if i use the twin head gasket set up? and can you get solid copper head gaskets and are they the way to go? i dont understand why your not meant to use c3j heads with thicker gaskets.
