Cometic head gasket question....
...my engine has one installed..multi layer metal cometic head gasket...what is the most BHP you can get out of em before blowing....this current one has covered 5000 miles at 380 - 400bhp......how much longer at 600ish bhp?
I aint changing it till it blows!

Phil - if this is on your Saph then am i right in thinking its one of Sheadys' engines?
I think it's a bit of an open ended question as with a poorly/incorrectly prepped block/head then the integrity of the gasket will be weakened.
However, with the engine builder in question - i imagine all the prep work will have been carried out to a high level and therefore you'll probably get good longevity/power figures out of it

As said really.
Some GRP A's last ages, some don't - at least the cometic shouldn't rot.
