Anyone know if you can use an evo9 headgasket on an evo8? We are in a jam and I know the standard thickness is slightly different, but do the oil and coolant holes line up?

Thanks in advance!

 

no issue. eight gasket (1005a700) is 5 layer at .041. the nine gasket (mn155760) has three layer at .026
there may be some water whole differences but nothing to worry about

edit: now I think I have the 8/9 gaskets reversed? the 8 gasket may be the thin one?

 

Bump, can anyone else confirm this?

 

I just picked up the 9 gasket and its a 5 layer...
Anyone else have any info at all on this?

 

i know the evo6 headgasket is 3 layers, not sure on the thickness though

 

Well we did it! The 9 worked on the 8 just had to drill a couple holes!
