steel head gasket

**Oszy** · 25-10-2009, 19:53

Hi All!
I have a bit modified engine with cams etc. It is around ~200hp (at 7500rpm), and after 7000km, the head gasket sadly went wrong. Actually I am looking for a steel head gasket. It is exist for the 17poo at Renault, but not for the Williams either for the 16v.
I would like to ask your oppinion about what type are you using, who is the manufacturer, and what experiencers or idea you have.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Oszy

too much heet, due to the high rewwing, and increased gas flow

I use it for sprint races too, where in first and second gear I rew it a lot

there is your answer , you will have to find a way of better cooling
rather than looking for a stronger gasket .
i would rather have the gasket go than the head to warp

I agree with you

I'm with schakal on this one... if you put a stronger head gasket in, and there is still something wrong with the engine, the gasket won't pop, but everything else will...
That gasket is like a safety switch that pops before the rest does

...

My turbolump runs standard headgasket, and still revs hard to 7200... about 6000 km's on it now

.... (and it got 200 hp on the wheels

)

No problems mate, for sure, only need a stronger gasket

200 on the wheels? nice!
