im just about 2put myengine back 2gether and was wondering which head gasket to use??

the car will be set up to stage 3, i.e. t34,greens,rs500 intercooler.

i may change to blues injectors at later time,

i had GROUP A gasket before and this split and didnt blow,engine had done 10,000 miles

 

A, why the fuck are you up so early/late??

B, me and the old man are both running roughly the same spec as you and we use either felpro or cometic, there are cheaper ones but it aint really an area to skimp on!!

 

i use cometic with a similar spec to you, had no issues

 

hi there mate
A. im always up quite early

B. cheers for reply,i was going to go for WRC gasket but not sure if over kill and quite pricey at roughly £350!!

 

cheers

 

cometic works fine for me altho i do skim the head and block first to ensure a perfect seal.

 

ive had 3 cossies on group a and 2 of the have had pressure and overheating issues and 2 cossies on wrc and never a problem with either.

 

cheers scoooby slayer,whos the best person to get them from? how much?

 

I keep all Cosworth headgaskets on the shelf

YB1261 - £25.00
YBO611 - £55.00
Cometic 3 Layer - £80.00
Mountune WRC 4 Layer - £170.00

Matt

 

thank you for your reply matt,i will be in touch.
you at national day in august??

 

YB0611 and wire wrung block, bit old fashioned, but still works very well, plus if the worst does happen and you blow the gasket its only another 55 quid.

 

i just rebuilt mine with a group a i think its 3 layers metal i also got a wire ringed block but advised not to putthe wire in should i exspect problems not even run in it done 280 miles

 

I used a small turbo escort HG on my saff, just as good as a grp A and nearly half the price
