Blown Headgasket

[dzx]

After searching for a while on the forum, I've come to the conclusion that I have a blown headgasket. After the car is driven for a while, the radiator is pressurized and it blows out the coolant and starts to overheat which sucks because I just fixed the majority of problems on my car. Anyway, I have some thin headgaskets that i was going to use with the wrx heads i had at one time to bring up the compression ratio. Can I use these with the 22t heads?

I would think that you shouldnt, without checking the piston/valve clearance you could run into issue, especially at high rpm. not only that, but your cam timing will then be off a bit as well..

how much are the ej22t gaskets? I thought last time I bought them they were cheap.

I would be more worried about Piston-to-Head clearances. The pistons on the EJ22t protrude from the deck about .010 to .012in.
Also the EJ205 gasket is made for a smaller bore.
