head spacers????

[jojowasha]

Do any of you know were i can get a head spacer for a 325i motor?

Are you talking about a thicker head gasket? There are several companies out there that make quality thicker head gaskets, some of the turbo guys will hopefully chime in on this one.

head spacer?? what's that

[jojowasha]

it lowers the compression of the motor. its pretty much just another headgasket.

Stock m20b25 c/r is 8.8:1

Why on earth do you want it lower?

[Firestorm11]

god damn, i didnt think it was that low, is that why heaps of people turbo them so easily?

[Bitchin'e30]

While the c/r is boost friendly (to a point) the head gasket and head bolts aren't up to the task of holding in the extra pressure under extented periods of abuse.

If for some reason you want to lower the c/r for a turbo application... get custom pistons. A headgasket spacer with stock internals is pretty halfassed.

get new headbolts too. the stock e30 head bolts break easily i broke a couple of mine at once not fun to fix.

wear am i gonna find all this

[blackoutbmw325]

dealer. a set of headbolts ran me about 31 bux its cheap and they got a tourxe head on em too which makes it a little bit easier to use

Dont buy that shit at the dealer. Buy it online at www.bmaparts.com Much cheaper....
Only buy shit at the dealer if you are a retard, or very desperate to get something ASAP.

Even employee discount at a BMW dealer is still often times well above BMA's everyday prices. If you are a R3V member you get 10% off anything at BMA on top of that.
