Default Headgasket

is it worth using an uprated headgasket on a S2? running approx 15psi. if so, which is the best to use? been looking on burton power website at their ones and felpro ones. theyre a decent price too. or will a std gasket do?

definatly worth getting the felpro one mate. standard one is crap for that amount of boost anyway.

you can also mail one from pj motorsport number is 01902 862882.

hope this helps

dont even bother with a felpro, there are crap, ask many people on here, the standard ford one is the best by far, can take up to 250bhp and over as tried and tested by some users on here

i rebuilt mine last year and i used the ford gasket, mine is around 210bhp running 21 psi, no probs
