Full head set with composite gaskets £28 plus vat was expecting quite a bit more. Fingers crossed everything goes well and don't cost too much more and that will be a result. Rimmer brothers by the way thanks to carob for that one.


A little happier Dix.

What make was the gaskets.

[dixiebabes]

Didn't ask leigh, they just advised me that fitting. Composite gaskets would cost me a small anonymous of comprrssion. Nearly dropped the phone when he said 35 notes

A slight reduction in compression means it'll run happier on 95RON as well, got to save shekels where you can these days
Mine has composites and an estimated 9.3:1 compression (down from the original 10.5:1)... still makes 250+BHP on Tesco 95RON though

Stretch bolts prices made my eyes water a bit mind.

If you don't have stretch bolts, you can re-use them, most people prefer non-stretch,

or ARP studs but they are over £150.00

Yup I have heard you can reuse the bolts but I thought might as well change em while its all stripped down better safe than sorry eh.

You can get new non stretch, but if this is the 1st time the engine has been apart they will be fine to re-use.
