928 SII Head Gasket Set

[Porky Mick]

Can anyone advise where I can obtain a genuine head gasket set for a 928 SII (86) without being ripped off?

Always worth asking an OPC, there are some quirks in pricing and may be the best option

Hi

I am the PCGBs 928 moderator...I also run an S2

Ok 2 choices

1. OPC =Official Porsche Centre = Porsche main dealer in your town. = VERY expensive...

2, If in no huge rush....get it from whats called "The big 3"....Those are the 3 big American 928 parts suppliers ...such as 928 International etc = around half price or less...

Hope this helps

See my signature for my Email addy if you need it

All the best Brett

Definitely check your Porsche centre - prices can be surprisingly low, especially when compared with the big 3's prices when you add import duty and VAT.

Head gaskets from www.928gt.com are in the $75-$85 per side range, FYI.

yep, another bit of advice, handbrake cable 964 euro car parts spurious part. end shackle too big to fit through back plate, in a rush so trimmed with angle grinder, trimmed too much (yet still only just pushed through....monkey metal) shackle disintegrates. £15ish 3+ hours to fit and still broken

Genuine Porsche part OPC, fits straight away, £22, 1/2 hour to fit. Go figure.

Hi

The big 3 sell GENUINE Porsche parts exactly the same as you would get here...

Example...I needed a new Master Cylinder...

Porsche price at OPC £360

Independant suppliers in this country £320

928 International in USA including delivery to my door etc £92.............


All the best Brett
