Spesso Grp N Headgaskets

[Wobba]

Worth it?

Anyone know of a direct supplier?

[Wobba]

I think Prima do them. Sent them a message requesting price.

Might be worth a shot...

Yea. Thanks.

It says 83.5mm bore size. I guess the 0.1mm thickness will make sod all difference!?

MLS is the way to go but must ensure the block and head are proper flator they do leak as they dont take up as much imperfection as std gaskets......

i used a bit of liquid gasket between block/mls gasket and head/mls gasket.

i use spesso gaskets, never had an issue with the one thats been in there for last 4 years :-)

Thanks guys!

If the HG is gone I will go this route after a thorough head check.

Looks like I am going to be alright though...

i got one of these for the turbo lump, as recommended by sideways danny, not had an issue since the rebuild.

Piper do cometic gaskets for the F7R off the shelf and are an easy company to deal with:

I could probably get a deal on a load if people wanted to do a group buy, but TBH for most applications a decent quality like a Elring, Goetze, or Reinz is perfectly up to the job anyway, in fact thats what I have just gone for on mine, just avoid like the plague all the wank BGA ones, you would be better off throwing them away and using the packet they came in with some holes cut in it!

PS

I was using a cometic one at around the 550bhp mark on my mid engined nova and ive got mates who have used them even harder than that, so certainly a good option for a turbo.

Prima racing had the best price when i bought my spesso 2 years ago
