    Default M20 Headgasket thickness

    Hello

    why is there different thickness of headgaskets

    here Elring gives me the choice between 1,75 or 2,05 mm

    what is the argument for choosing one?

    thx

    The general idea is that once the head has been skimmed significantly you will fit a thicker gasket to compensate for it.

    HTH,
