B20 A is the thick head gasket... darn.
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
I have a B20 head gasket that is .040" uncompressed, and no B20. Yours if you want it.
Thanks man! I hope to make a decision about the build by this weekend and can let you know!
No problem. Let me know if you need it, shipping should be trivial.
Just got a really nice job offer in Seattle. Stay tuned,might be de-hoarding a bunch of push-rod stuff including a serviceable F-head. Might be a good option for you if boat head mods don't work out.
It is a Payen, it is probably the same one that you have. Did you measure yours? It is probably 0.040".
I sell an all Isky lifter and pushrod kit for less than $200.00.
I don't have a picture on my website, but I do have it listed.

Join the club, I've been adding parts to my b20 build stockpile for 2 years now... looks like this spring will be the final parts order for the b20... For the last year I've spent my money on getting the turbo set up and I figure that the B18 bottom end is about toasty, so its a good time to get my sh!t together and finish the b20 bottom end up.
yep, B18 block .040 pistons, B18 HG. No issues with detonation up to 15psi, timing in that area is around 18* +/- 2* depending on RPMs. Idle timing is at 13*, and max is 38-ish at 40kpa/4k-rpms... Lately I've been noticing slightly louder than normal valve clatter, but its been 6 months since I checked them, its on the list for this weekend.
That's awesome!
My daily drivers have destroyed my finances and time recently. 2 had bad transmissions and a slew of other issues. Then it comes down to projects and it's time to get something running that's been in my garage for far too many years. The 65' 122 drives for now at least. But my 66' mustang hasn't seen the road for 20-30 years (5 of which I've owned it) It's extremely close now, and I just need to finish it. Wish I had time/money/space for all of them.
However since the mustang was my first project car and started this whole car addiction it's time to give it life.
mustang... whatcha doin to it?
