Hello!
I have shaved some 16V PL pistons to be used with the forced induction.
So i shaved the head of the piston 1,55MM which is exactly the same hight of a 3-layer head gasket.
I measured the thickness of the head on a G60 stock piston and it is 8MM, the Stock 16V PL piston is 6,55MM and now shaved is 5MM thick.
So i want to know if someone else has done this and how it works?
I'm worried because i don't know if the piston head is too weak for 16VG60.

Well, i what peoples opinions.

alot of people use double headgaskets. real cheap and reliable. cost effective.

you measured a head gasket when it is crushed by force of the head bolts? or new? or what?

new to 16v stuff.......did you shave the piston for valve clearance???? or is it just for comp. ratio?

get another set of pistons and trash those. just stack head gaskets or get forged set of pistons for 16v FI

Yep that's what i'm thinking.
Any sells any forged pistons?

stacked gaskets have worked well for over a year for me so far...talk about easy!

How much boost? Just stock 16V pistons? How much WHP ? Which setup?
Thanks
