2.5 head gasket differences
 

I'm looking for a pair of these and noticed that they differ from 2007 onwards. As my engine is an upgrade, how would I know if it is an early one or 2007 onwards.

The block cases are the same, its the head waterways that change after 06

This is a 06 onwards type, it has 4 individual waterways at the bottom, pre 06 has 2.

Thanks, I presume the lower part of the block would also have 4 waterways on a later head.

No, its the heads that are different, the blocks are all the same, always match the gasket to the heads fitted.

Thanks for this, much clearer now as to what I need.
