Just slightly lower compression and an accompanying loss of a HP or 2.
thicker head gaskets for a Ej25D ? any problem ?
hi, doin a full engine rebuild ( 2.5 dohc) , had crank reground , rebore .5mm, and heads resurfaced.
for some unknown reason i accidently ended up ordering C4264-051 cometic head gaskets , which are thicker than standard. would there be any problems using these ? its only a daily driver.

I would send the back, as they have viton black coating on them. = https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cgt-c4264-051
vs. bare mutlilayer steel. specifically these subaru ones made for the EJ255 turbo (I have this kind on my own EJ251 now)

the coating is NOT permanent , once you assemble the head onto block , the viton coating will come off it places. i used six star hg , no trouble ( except for bearings...) and when i removed heads some of the viton coating stayed on the head and block.
and depending on HOW thick, your TBelt may not fit right/well - depending on head resurface. You'll be pushing the heads OUT.
