- Fri Apr 30, 2010 12:16 pm #191106 Im undecided whether to get the head skimmed on my d15b. I will be using a d16y8 headgasket. What is a sensible amount to take off the head? Or is there no real point in having it done?

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

x2, but imo, there are better ways to raise your compression than that, as you can sometimes loose a tooth of timing if you take too much, ive allways been told to take the least amount possible
