Cylinder base gasket question again....
Background of engine:
'87 3.2L with 3.4L (98mm) flat-top Max Moritz pistons (I think) and Mahle cylinders. The engine is turbocharged (1-bar).
So "Cgarr" did a fine job rebuilding my heads for my engine. He had to resurface my heads due to shipping damage though (my fault when packaging).
Craig took off 0.008" and to which I've read here, Wayne's book, and the factory manual, that once you resurface the heads, you must use 0.50mm gaskets instead of the 0.25mm ones. I know this is a 0.010" difference which makes sense.
But, just for another reference, I called my local Porsche shop. The owner is factory trained and he told me that since I have the flat-tops, I don't need the thicker base gaskets.
Is that true?
