could you please post the answer here? I'm looking for the same thing
Thinking of using a new age block on the sti v3 heads, I'm wondering what gasket thickness I should use to keep compression the same.

Hi there your head gasket thickness would be differ t to mine as Newage pistons have a different dish cc size. Also the pistons sit below block I think jus check to confirm and mine sit 0.30 above the block so I need a thick 1.6 gasket. So you need to work out your compression ratio which should be between 8-8.5:1 using a calculator but ideally you would want a smaller gasket. Version 3 Sti heads are 46cc's! Pm merlin he can give you more info as he helped me
