Steel Head Gaskets

[Rob Turbo 3]

Now I've ditched the v6 project I'm back to the turbo engine, which needs a head gasket, and I'm planning on starting where I left off - 18psi! I've gathered a standard gasket isn't up to the job, so I want a MLS gasket, but where do I get one from for an XU10? And how much am I looking at paying for one?

 

Thanks,

Rob

not checked if the match up but have you had a look at the dt gaskets?

 

they were a multi layer matal gasket

The std GTi6 gasket is a MLS and they seem to hold upto the Superchaged conversions well

Been talking to M@tt and he might be able to get me one cheap, I'll find out next week if it's deffo the right one.

 

If not, I'll look into a GTi6 gasket, isn't a dt 1905? So smaller bores?

 

Thanks,

yes, DT is 83mm bore, not MLS as far as I know either.

i forget there are a few to look through aint the 2.1 a xu10? or 12 or hdi

 

i did a search on wikapedia a while back and got the info on bore sizes and stroke but cannot remember exactly

 

the gti6 option sounds a winner though

other option is cometic

 

we have sent them a gasket in past

 

they will make a performance upgrade with old 1 as former

If you need a GTi6 gasket I have one for sale.

My brother makes Gaskets to design for Aston Martin/Ferrari, top end stuff.

 

He can make one to your requirements in a number of materials...I can't get hold of him at the minute but I am seeing him later today, I'll show him this thread.
