Try adding 0.007" to the standard gasket thickness.

Is the car a v4 or V5 STi.


Heads were skimmed by 0.18mm.

So if V4 be 1.6mm gaskets.

If V5 and first time to be skimmed then 0.7mm be ok.

Otherwise consider 1.1mm cometic or cosworth.

its a V4 and no they have not been skimmed before
i would prefer cosworth too cometic but there range is smaller

You want a 1.6 mate.
