Is this guy any good

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COSWORTH-YB-GE...item43a50b8983

Its to use with my Gt30?

 

Yes, he's spot on mate!

 

Is this the best gasket to use then chip?

 

got mine off matt lewis, give him a ring, you might get a better deal

 

Providing your block and head are flat, its the best I know of for a YB without getting really exotic and going to julian for something very customised machining wise.

Well proven by lots of people in the 500-600 sort of ballpark and there are a few engines out there on the WRC gaskets at 800+ (Rod tarry being the most obvious one and IIRC AG was too)

I dont think you can go far wrong with one (unless your block is warped or head not freshly skimmed!)

 

Give Matt Lewis a call 01922 692424 or 07910 818110

 

Got mine from Matt Lewis for £100

 

Ive just had the head skimmed and pressure tested, block is just being decked this week along with machined pistons, i wasnt sure what gaskets where genuine and what ones arnt,

 

What gasket is it, the same as the one in the link a 4 layer wrc ?

 

That's a bit annoying tbh! You take quite a lot of my time up on the phone getting loads of free advice with me making sure you do the job right this time and then you start hunting around for a cheaper gasket than mine to save yourself what? £20?? Perrrrrlease!!

 

I posted this just before our phone call, if your doing the job yourself Martin you have to shop around, i appreciate you info over the phone as to the best way to approach things and will still hopefully be using you for the map.

 

If the clock is right on here then you posted after you spoke to me!!

 

Yes mate

 

didnt miller say the pf clock is an hour fast ?

 

I did indeed mate, maybe those clock elf's have been up to no good again lol

 

 

Depends what regional settings martin has, mine is correct for example.

 

busted! pmsl im pretty sure i know when i posted a thread and when i made a phone call.

 

would this gasket be good with long studded engine and GT30 430bhp?

 

The PF police will require evidence of phone records as well as witness statements confirming it was you making said phone call at the time. Otherwise they have you bang to rights!

 

I checked the clock and it's right!

Tbh I'm not that bothered whether I sold you a gasket (that I'd probably be making a tenner on!) or not, it's the fact that some people would rather take all your advice on the phone (you did call 3 or 4 times) and then go off and hunt down the cheapest part possible! Anyhow at least I gave you enough info so you'd do the job properly this time!

My gasket isn't the same as the WRC one btw.

 

martin if I'd had a pound for every one that had done this to me over the years my x wife would have been a millionaire

 

I remember you mentioning it (several times!!) in the past, time for a premium rate line.

 

Tony you told me she is a millionaire she also has a 60 plate range rover you have 7 p plates

 

Lol!!!

 

FPMSL

 

Courtney (vauxhall tuners) have a premium rate number for technical advice, its a good idea I reckon, that way if people just want advice they can pay you for that on a per minute basis and its fair on all parties

 

Yes, providing both surfaces are flat

 

carlo you implying my x wife had a life of fur coat and no knickers roflol

 

she had a life of plenty shoe's, although some did look like your size.

 

That on ebay looks like a victor reinz gasket re badged as mountune ones.


can buy the same thing for half that amount. Any decent trader will be able to get better prices, unless they want to make big profits.

 

Umm, who do you think makes the mountune ones?
