I've burnt my exhaust gasket because two screws loose, could i use the Rover V8 gasket from a Range on my griffith 500 engine?
Thanks/Giu

I'm afraid theyre not all the same.The std rangie gasket has quite a square exhaust port shape,and as such is smaller than the tvr ported shape of the exhaust port.You need to buy the gaskets that are more rectangular in shape(measure and compare port size),and theyre best if they are the composite inner,with metal 'skin' on both outside surfaces.The purely composite gaskets never lasted for mefrown
If you want some tvr port size metal/compo gaskets FOC,them drop me a mail,and i can send you a set on Monday,if thats ok?

Now dont take the pcensoredss on the freebies!nonohehe.
I do have a 'sample'set left over,that are kicking around at the moment,but thats it(new stock in soon).Of course you can order/buy anything from me at the growl(silly prices for the weekend are in order i reckonsmile ),though i wont have a stall there as we've not been invited as yet!,though to be honest i would have to decline,anyway,as i want my time to be my own this year,and have a few beersbeer
