88mm.hey.
I'm going to bore K24 to 87.5mm. What gasket should I use? 87 or 88mm?
Thx
really? didn't know that. thx!The stock K24 head gaskets are all supposedly 88mm
like he ^ said you will be fine.So does a OEM K24 gasket work at all? can someone confirm.
I never use a Cometic gasket on a K24A2/A4 or a K20Z3, they use a different cooling path as the cometic is a K20A2 style head gasket. Here is a pic of a Cometic vrs K24A2/A4 or a K20Z3 gasket, notice the pink areas, their is significant differences.Thanks I may still get the cometic gasket but it's nice knowing I can still use the new TSX gasket I have sitting here :up:
i went with an 88mm cometic and diverter plate on my k24a4 block with z3 head. had to call cometic on this one, but the confirmed that you do need the diverter plate with k24 and z3 heads. my block is 87.5mm bore too. you can use a 87mm bore gasket, but i was worried about burning out the gasket.
the coolant diverter that goes in the block coolant passage by cylinder 1 on the intake side. it does right next to the water pump outlet basically. supposed to divert coolant to the exhaust side of the block to provide for proper cooling. i believe all the k24's and the k20z3 run them. i had to call cometic to find out if i needed to use one on my build since they only make one style head gasket for k's. they said they should be used on engines k24 and z3 heads, but are not necessary on other k20 heads. it's just a little black plastic piece. called a "partition plate" from honda.DIVETER.................can anyone give more info about this.
