bassboy

 

muiltlayer focus thats what i got on mine never had any trouble

 

im posted before the phnoe call def the way forward for me

 

LOL yeah thought so....Alex one might need to be ordered oh and when you back at work mate? need some parts for mine (quite urgent now as mapping is in about 2 weeks )? Sean, i can pick up the gasket at the same time if u want? unless you want to get it from a local ford?

bassboy

 

but i need someone to weld and skim my head for the muiltlayer focus gasket do you know of anyone around berkshire

 

Funny that,
Mine also went between 3 and 4 at the Daddy thrash!

I was pulling 7000rpm in top when it let go. it also blew into the oil way so dumped loads oil around the engine bay. Running 8.8:1 CR and 25psi boost.

Before I had to fit the Felpro I was running with a copper head gasket and sealing rings from Ferriday, that coped with 2bar+, however it had been reused 5 times so thought I better retire it.

Simon.

 

so do you rate the copper head gasket? i have to see ferriday about another de-comp plate but even that when between three and four, going through the gears i do hit the rev limiter with nitrous which is a big no no so i probably Contributed to the failure

 

You have to find the limit? dont you.

I do rate the copper head gasket but I have only used it in conjunction with 8 of his sealing rings (they are 3thou thick and get placed above and below the head gasket), this was to facilitate 2.5bar of boost with Nos!
I am going to get another when I rebuild.
I have/had the 1.2mm thick one but he does thicker.

 

just as everything was going so well as well

Sean let me know if you want me to get it for ya

Sorry but have I just confused the matter??

Simon.

 

No no Simon...not talking about the advice LOL...was talking about the Daddy thrash

sorry about not sending the pics yet...no internet access at home at the moment and all the pics are on my PC

muilt layer is the way to go but its just much easier for me to skim my head and then just mail order the gasket and de-comp plate.

 

back at work on monday m8 give me a call about 1130 i got lots of shit to catch up on as i been away for the week lol.

turbo boss if you want it done right get what i said. it will save you a lot of money in the long run and your have no issues with ur hg going again. ian h done mine and i never had any trouble with my zvh in 4 years.

 

as alex says get a focus rs headgasket.

i got mine welded in bracknell, place called CME can recommend them!

 

yeah but how strong are these gaskets at the daddy thrash my boost was as high as 31psi at times, how much pressure can these gaskets handle,people have problems with the cometic gaskets which look to be made out of the same Material

 

can you give me the full address please
