what does it consist of ?

i know t34 ideally and the normal stg 3 stuff but what head gasket is recomended ? swirl pot ? extra oil breather ?

any opinions on the above please

matt

 

wire ring the block and use a std head gasket (Ł8!)

 

WRC Mountune 4 layer Head gasket--Do it once, do it right

 

Matt - I've got a stage 3 fore be fore

Got a T34 blower using a Group A headgasket which i've not had a issue with...

but if you can stretch a bit further then go for the WRC jobby (as winker above says ) think they are made by mountune??? might be wrong....

as i remember a conversation a while saying they were quite good

hth

 

 

I thought wire-ringing was not recommended any more. <- not meant to start heated discussions.

 

them 4 layer wrc gaskets are fookin dear tho yes ?

no one recomend a cometic one then ?

 

I PERSONALLY wouldnt touch a Cometic one as i have had a problem with them and a damaged engine

BUT

There are people who swear by them

Yes the WRC ones are expensive at Ł370 but you pay for what you get

 

fook tiff thats a lot of money for a gasket only runnin stg 3 power !

how much dosh you reckon to properly change the head gasket ?

 

Can someone explain what wire ringing is? Must have heard the term a thousand times without actually knowing what it meant

 

matt make your own....Cornflakes box & some gasket sealer should do the trick

Thats what Tiff is using, but when he say's Multi layer, thats all the big mac boxs he's been saving

Just for you mate

 

You fookin coont

 

I run cometic! Though i was under impression they suit a car with long studded block etc Though i might be talking bollocks

 

Sorry mate, i thought everyone new, but i'll keep the secret about the standard inj painted grey

Opps did i say that out loud

 

so cometic no good for a std stud type engine then ?

stu's input in this would be good as i think he recomends cometic gaskets

 

Yes, Stu uses Cometic

 

No probs with Cometic's but I do agree if the pennies can stretch go with the proper WRC item I ran a cometic jobbie with no probs and also remember they come in two thicknesses

 

so cometic head gaskets are better than grp a ones yes ?

 

standard 4x4 gasket is alright for stage 3

 

If you stick a WRC gasket on a cossie at Stage 3, you're either a moron, or you've got more money than sense.

What exactly is a Ł400 WRC gasket going to do, that a Ł60 "Group A" one isn't?

Matt - my feeling is this.

Go stage 3 with greens, chip, and 3 bar, and run the T3 at a reasonable level of boost.

Prepare for the headgasket to go at any time, as it could, and be prepared for the turbo to let go, as it could being old (probably)...........

Put a decent aftermarket oil breather on the car anyway, as the std. Ford one is pants, and if you like bling things, then put a swirl pot on.

I've run my car on a Group A gasket for four years, and people have seen how I drive my car - never a hint of a problem.

 

thanks pon helps me a lot that does

ive got a t34 or i w ill have very soon so thats that bit taken care of

my rocker cover is powder coated, my question is can you drill through the powder coat without it all cracking and looking a right mess ?
