I own a 2wd saph cosworth (stage 3). I have noticed a slight water leak under the exhaust outlet. There is no oil in the water and vice versa. Is this the head gasket gone?
If so what is the best replacement head gasket, were do I get it from. What else do I need to replace. Can anyone give me some instructions, i.e., which way the head bolts are undone and what else needs to be undone and how the head is removed. What is the order and torque setting for the new bolts? Value steam seals, should I replace them if so how are they done?

Many Thanks

 

I can supply a 3 ply metal gasket if you need one mate (WRC one's are only 4 ply and cost a fortune) just stripped my 3door down very similar to yours.Take all your boost pipes off and any waterpipes to the head,take airbox off and unplug all your electrics be carefull not to snap any of them as they tend to be brittle with age,also take your throttle body off and unplug fuel injectors,cam belt cover off then rocker cover (mine was so tight i nearly snapped the bolts off)I took the boost pipes off the turbo and took it off with the head and then take the turbo off seperate just personal preferance but needs 2 of you to lift safely.Undo the head bolts anti-clockwise does'nt really matter which order,also on the fuel rail side you'll have to do a bit of disconnecting just use your common sense and disconnect the pipes which are going to stop the haed coming off,try not to be to rough with stuff as this always leads to extra money being blown!!! Like i said if you need the gasket give us a shout as i've got 2 and will only be using 1 and there a top gasket put them on and just forget about it run pretty much what BHP you want with them which is why i'm doing mine.

 

how much for gasket mate

 

YOU CAN HAVE MY SPARE ONE FOR £180 MATE ,YOU CAN EVEN USE THEM TWICE WITH AVIATION PASTE GOTTA SAY REALLY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE PRICE OF 4 PLY WRC GASKETS.
