hi all, graham goode have got the wrc multi layered head gasket, its in sale for 160quid inc. Is that a bargain? Looking for 450bhp. Is there anything in particular i should make sure this head gasket has? Cheers luke

 

if your gonna use a mulit layer than you must make sure the head and block are dead flat
other wise there is a very good chance it will fail

you will most likely need both re skimmed for this

escort cosworth gasket will be well up to the job of 450

 

If i use the escort cosworth gasket will the head have to be dead flat too? Cheers

 

My block is wire rung and i use a Grp A H/G

Luke, GROUP A HG will be ok with your power....

So, you're going for 450bhp setup now then??

 

no mate

it will be flat but for the multi it has to be 100% super flat on both surfaces

the grp a or small turbo ecos will be more than fine

good cooling sustem will help no end

 

Yer might aswell as i got greys oil cooler, big 500rad group a fuel pump waiting in my garage so might aswel save a bit more and get my head done and get new clutch. So how much will it cost to skim the head?

 

if you go for the multi then the block will need decking also which means engine out and strip down plus rebuild

works out to be alot of money but worth it in the long run

depends on your budget

 

Cheers mate so if i go for group a head gasket i wont need to take engine out, and i wouldnt need the head skimmed either! What feature should i look for when buying the group a gasket?just one that says escort cosworth group a head gasket???? Cheers

 

give matt lewis a bell he will suply you with what you need at got prices too

 

Cheers mate i'l look him up and give him a bell

 

You should skim the head what ever gasket you use really Luke I personally would deffinstly, for the £40 it costs and a few gaskets!

 

Yer defo will mate, i thought it would cost hundreds though

 

No its not as bad as you'd think

 

WRC one is fit and forget,got one on my saph.

 

whats the cost for decking then??

 

same as the head mate, i got my block decked for £20
