going to go greys/t34 etc and if i buy a 1.44mm thick cometic wrc head gasket i'll be low comp, and was thinkin about changin my cams or just the inlet, is this a good idea ?
what would the right cam be for my engine, some say the bd14 some say leave the standard cams in, i'm confused as fuk as to what to put in, also if the 14 one is the one to go for , is the best thing to do send them to someone like amber for an exchange pair or is there someone else on here who does them?

Need more info on your individual requirements to ascertain the correct cams to use Karl. Also dont forget that most of the popular cams require piston modifications and some require stronger valve springs and platform mods... Feel free to call me if you need to.
cometic are SHYYYYYYYYYTE with head gaskets,
1st blow out i put down to bad head, 2nd one fooked block and differnt head.
2nd time was the above mentioned gasket
might be a bad batch( ? ) but i certainly wouldnt use another one again as it cost me a LOT of money and even more in time, especially to prep the heads....... as you know i was really really gutted.
stick with gpA, for the money it costs/power output theres no point buying a reuseable gasket (Mountune ONLY! ) unless head is off a lot of reliability is a major factor and cost isnt.
Have a think about your motor, try not to listen to all the things everyone says as advice as it oftern makes things dificult to choose.
Try to have phone conversations with reputable tuners and tell them your requirements, they will give best advice possible and 99% of the time its free!!!!
Everyone knows how to get big horsepower cossie motors nowdays, but not everyone knows how to build GOOD cossie motors with reliability!
Head gaskets are a major factor in a cossie motor, dont believe everything you hear about most expensive bits being the best.... its all dependant on the application
