Buying gaskets/seals/bearings for st170
Having a bit of a nightmare.
Having stripped my st170 engine, I assumed it would be easy to find all the gaskets I wanted.
I don't want a complete set of top and bottom gaskets, besides it is hard to find a top set as the cam box gasket is different.
Bottom end I don't need the sump gasket as I have a CVH sump.
But it seems it is very tricky finding all the gaskets and seals (especially the cam seal fo the VVT) at a decent price. Even a water pump O ring
seems to be £15!!
So any pointers on where to get stuff. Burton have some bits, but anywhere else worth a try.
Oh, and what thickness head gasket is standard? anybody know? (mine measures at 1mm but that is uncompressed)
It is easier to get stuff for a 50 year old Triumph! (maybe they need more rebuilds....)
Cheers
Clive

Hi.
We are running a ST170 race motor. And yes it's a pain to get anything. The only parts i have been able to get aftermarket is a rocker cover
gasket. ( PAYRC 7383 ) everything else is ford dealer. For upgrade on spark plugs try NGK LTR7X-11.
Cheers Matt

My exhaust cam seal was leaking so took it out and compared it to standard zetec one it was the same so fitted that didn't look at inlet cam

Hmm,that isn't great. Especially as so much stuff is shared with the "normal" blacktop.
Guess I will end up with a few spare gaskets.....and a smaller bank balance
