Hi,
I need some advice on what’s the most reliable option. Fit & forget.
What Head Gasket is recommended for 360/380 bhp, T34, Light Blues, 7.8.1.

a) WRC 4 Layer & 6 Long Studs via Martin/SCS/Rainbird/A1..?
b) Wire Rung 200 block with yb0611 gasket.?
c) Group A HG with Standard Bolts..?

thanks,
Manoj

 

You will have to take the engine out and strip it if you want to fit long studs. Same applies to wire rung block

You will be fine with a cometic multi-layer/WRC gasket and standard bolts at that power level. Take a look at my resto thread. I am using a cometic one and standard head bolts.

Block and head need to be completely flat if using metal gasket

 

you dont have to take the engine out to wire ring it, karl at NMS did mine whilst still in the car
