Think i have just blown my headgasket, i new it was going to happen but which type do you recommend that i fit? there seems to be so many different types.
the car is running stage 3 just after something that will hold the boost and hopefully be reliable, thanks.

 

cosmetic, group A mate.

 

i have asked the same question and it seems that cometic gaskets are best correct me if im wrong.

 

Thanks for the quick reply looks like the credit card will be getting a good hammering in the morning then, full cometic gasket set on way.

 

what type of boost pressure is best to run on stage 3 ie, max boost pressure and what should it be holding? im only running 17psi and hitting 20psi ish max.

 

You need to be carefull if its a triple layer gasket, if the block and head are not perfect the gasket will fail, the head is easy to sort with a skim, but the block? major work. ive been told to only use them on new blocks, as the gasket cannot absorb any imperfections in the surface.

 

i was told the same, Karl advised me to get it wire runged, ringed or what ever its called, Karl can do this for a little bit more than a cometic head gasket

 

I was told the same by Cometic here in the States...

 

 

Im looking to pick up a group A head set where is best place or cheapest to get one from????

 

I got mine from www.topendperformance.com
Also got a set of forged pistons there and an ARP head stud set.
Prices are a lot better then here in Europe, even including S&H.
