Buy a complete head gasket set. It'll have all the Lil one you will never think of.

Or better still give advanced automotive a call on 0117*967*2344 and explain what you want.

When i did mine i changed head bolts aswell. I'd recommend it.. For the sake of £35 worth it..

You won't know your head gasket thickness until your heads are skimmed, so buy your head gaskets last when you have calculated the thinkness required.:thumb:

Don't buy composite head gaskets as they are prone to failure and breakdown over time due to heat/pressure cycles. The Sti multi layer steel gaskets are good as well as Cometic, but I prefer Cosworth head gaskets as they have a folded inner edge making for a better seal. But either Sti, Cometic or Cosworth gaskets will do the job nicely.:thumb:
