Default YB 1261 head gasket small turbo

When were these available from?

I had an engine rebuild done and my Cossy had a YB1261 gasket in there when I took it apart....

No evidence of it ever been tampered with since it left the factory

No no boy's your miss understanding me!

What year were these available from?

My saff has 42,520 genuine miles and when I had it rebuilt for a 'freshen up' it already had a YB1261 fitted.....

the last owner from me owned the car for 16 years and there's nothing in the history and there's no evidence whcih would suggest it's been out before

They only came on the ST escos IIRC mate... So of that's the case then it must have been touched.
