corn flake boxes..........................

 

Late Escort Cosworth (Small Turbo) type............

Can also be purchased from Ford dealers, but only as a full headset.

 

Just rang Cosworth for the yb1261 head gasket,standard one, and his exact words were " you dont wanna mess around with them, theyre too thin,you want YB0261,the Grp A one for £55 plus Vat,
Whaddya think

 

That dont make ANY sense, as they only list 2 types of YB head gasket on the "heritage shop" on-line.

YB-1261
YB-0611 (group A)
BOTH types are the SAME thickness - I've just checked with a digital vernier:

He said to you: "you want YB0261, the group A one" .....there's no such gasket

 

Grp A & Small Turbo gaskets are the same (or so i'm led to beleive!!).

 

i dont think so mate...

 

Yeah thats the number he said Doug ,youre right,but he definately said its a thinner one then there alleged Grp A one,why would someone from Cosworth say that?

 

interesting i need a new h/g soon

 

i'd get a wrc one if you can

 

for a stg1 not really worth it is it?

i'll stick with the cheapest i can get - there's usually a reason to take the head off before the gasket fails anyway with these bloody things

 

So the T25 escos HG is the same as a Grp A gasket then? I need to buy me one soon.

 

No, they are NOT the same...............In a few mins I will take some pics of both types, side-by-side for a definitive comparison.

Cheers Doug. Could I fit a T25 gasket on my 2WD saff? Would there be any benefit?

 

Yes, I reckon the late Es Cos gasket is better, but no benefit fitting it for the sake of it i.e. if your engine is OK now, best to leave it as it is.

See the pics and compare the gaskets: Group A versus Late Es Cos types.........
BTW both gaskets are 1.28mm thick.

 

I need to do my HG pretty soon, so i'll get one of these i think. Is cosworth direct the best place do you think?
Thanks for the pics, top bloke

 

Group A one gets the shout from me

 

Just ordered the YB1261 from Cosworth, Top people, really helpful


Just got to fit the fookin thing now
