Hi,

I have searched Brickboard but am still in the dark on this subject.

I know more about OHC engines than about OHV ones.

My daily-driver 1975 Volvo 245 has the B20F fuel-injected engine with 8.7:1 CR.

The engine is due for a new headgasket.

I am thinking that I will take the occasion to up the CR a bit from it's present 8.7:1.

Which headgasket of the common brands (Elring, Victor-Reinz, Felpro, etc...) should I get?

Thanks in advance for your input.
