SPGTi 2 Posted August 28, 2008 Is it worth using one of these on a NA Mi16 block / Gti 6 head hybrid engine running std inlet and throttle body ? Also the std thickness for the Cometic Mi16 gasket is 1.3mm whereas I am led to believe a "normal" Pug gasket is 1.45mm. Is this because the Cometic compresses less or will it increase the CR ? cheers Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,677 Posted August 28, 2008 I'm sure I've read that an original XU7 gasket is MLS like a cometic one, just a bit cheaper... dont take my word for it! but may be worth looking into as it's the same bore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James_R 3 Posted August 28, 2008 I've been told by QEP that MLS gaskets and open block don't mix the gasket on the XU7 I have doens't look MLs, but then 6's some do some don't when it comes to h/gs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taylorspug 7 Posted August 29, 2008 All British Gaskets GTI6 head gaskets are MLS, although ive come across a couple of 'normal' style gaskets aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James_R 3 Posted August 29, 2008 Guess it's an indicator of wether the heads been off before on them then?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
