    A friend is building a new motor and we're trying to figure out the pricing on ZZP's MLS Gaskets...

    .045" = $155...3-layer
    .051" = $155...3-layer
    .052" = $165...4-layer
    .060" = $175...5-layer?
    .065" = $165...4-layer
    .066" = $185...6-layer?
    .074" = $175...5-layer?

    Also, for a T67 turbo application pushing about 15psi on a L67 bottom end, what thickness would you recommend?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    no 3 layer.

    4 layer would be fine.

    On what fuel?

    .065 4 layer would suffice. The problem is that a stock gasket would probably hold on 15psi depending on the afr/fuel type/timing. Saying flat out that you're never going over 15psi on a t67 on such fuel and such timing you would probably want to go with a shorter thickness.
