I just fitted one of these K series five layer metal head gaskets.
They are 2mm thick.
Hope they dont turn out to be made of Chinesium too.

Re: MLS - SAIC Head Gasket
Did you have raised liners or flat?
Re: MLS - SAIC Head Gasket
There no thicker than the original MLS and shim. I use the SAIC gasket on my track 1.8 n/a engine with stock bottom end and still makes almost 190bhp and has been trouble free for 4 years

Ap[ologies for the delay replying.
I had raised liners.
Seems I was wrong about compression being down due to overly thick head gasket.
The car seems to go very well.
The five layers must compress very easily. together with the higher torque setting.
