hi all, graham goode have got the wrc multi layered head gasket, its in sale for 160quid inc. Is that a bargain? Looking for 450bhp. Is there anything in particular i should make sure this head gasket has? Cheers luke

v man

if your gonna use a mulit layer than you must make sure the head and block are dead flat
other wise there is a very good chance it will fail

you will most likely need both re skimmed for this

escort cosworth gasket will be well up to the job of 450

If i use the escort cosworth gasket will the head have to be dead flat too? Cheers

Luke, GROUP A HG will be ok with your power....

So, you're going for 450bhp setup now then??

v man

no mate

it will be flat but for the multi it has to be 100% super flat on both surfaces

the grp a or small turbo ecos will be more than fine

good cooling sustem will help no end

Yer might aswell as i got greys oil cooler, big 500rad group a fuel pump waiting in my garage so might aswel save a bit more and get my head done and get new clutch. So how much will it cost to skim the head?

v man

if you go for the multi then the block will need decking also which means engine out and strip down plus rebuild

works out to be alot of money but worth it in the long run

depends on your budget

Cheers mate so if i go for group a head gasket i wont need to take engine out, and i wouldnt need the head skimmed either! What feature should i look for when buying the group a gasket?just one that says escort cosworth group a head gasket???? Cheers

v man

You should skim the head what ever gasket you use really Luke I personally would deffinstly, for the £40 it costs and a few gaskets!
