Hi all,

Nearly finished the rebuild and was just looking for some advice on best head gaskets. im only going to be running around 320-330 bhp in a v3 sti. I know there are loads out there but Im wondering if anyone has used the cosworth gaskets available through Graham Goode?
OR, has anyone any suggestions on a quality pair I can get hold of???

Thank you

Ive got Cosworth Head gaskets on my car running at 355bhp and they have been fine.My car is 2.5 though.I got mine from Rodger Clark.

Ive heard the standard Subaru gaskets are the best.

V3 STI running 406.7BHP 2L engine Cometic 1.6 gaskets. I'm sure the Cosworth ones are better but plenty of people use the Cometic ones.

Are the cometic gaskets graphite coated? When i used them on motorbikes because of this coating you had to torque then run the engine hot, let cool and re-torque. Is this the same for the car gaskets?

They are multi layer gaskets same as genuine and only need normal torque l
