hi guys, given up with the engine idea, just going to re-ring my pistions and obviously ill need a head gasket too. anyone have any lying about? preferably new parts please? thanks barney (07901003837)

 

I have a pair of Cosworth 1.1 mm head gasket set for 60 GBP (30 GBP each).

PM me if interested.

Cheers,

R.

 

Good price and indeed very good gaskets much more robust than standard and will take much more boost, i would have bought them but i'm not to sure what size i will need yet...will know once i finish by rebuild.

 

hey thanks for the post, just after standard replacements as its running standard apart from a few little things.

 

You should grind your cylinder heads, according to your specifications.
If you ground it for 1.1 mm head gaskets, then you can install these.

 

These are "standard" replacements.
It's like having a 500 Watt stereo. You do not use it on peak all the time, but sure better to use 1/5 of its performance, then 100%. Right?

For safety you are better off with well-known aftermarket gaskets (Cometic, Cosworth etc.).

Cheers,

R.

 

your very correct mate, but as money is an issue and i need to buy some piston rings too, (90 quid ebay new is the best price i found) and 20 for A set of head gaskets for 20 on ebay, (new)im swayed by ebay a bit lol.
cheers barney
