EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET FOR A CHIM 500

[ptc]

Not normal for me to venture into TVR land being a Lotus owner, please no boos, but doing a mate a favour.

Seeing if anyone can point me in the direction of an exhaust manifold gasket for a Chim 5L, composite, as he keeps being offered a metal one, not knowing diddly about Chims your assistance would be much appreciated.

Ideally a supplier in the London or SE area.

Cheers

Try Tower View Race Services near Brent Cross if you're looking in London. TVR Centre are a main stealer who say they hold mega stocks too ...

BTW - I understood the metallised gasket was the one to have since the other style break down too easily? Why does your mate need the crappy type?

Cheers trefor, I know not, but if the metal one, to my mind, is the better one and that is the general consensus then I would have thought he was better off with a metal one. As I saud not squat about Chims and their foibles!

Well both our cars have Rover engines ... there's something in common.

True, but slight difference in Horse Power, maybe I could borrow yours and shoe horn it into the back of the Liz!!

Definitely go for the metal gaskets otherwise you will be replacing the standard ones every year!
