Hi All
Anyone got a 2,1 head gasket kicking around, or know of a cheaper supplier than Burtons,
beer tokens waiting

Cheers
Mitch

what bore is your block?

Is it really worth buying a cheap one!!

I understand Burtons can sometimes be a bit expensive,

but you wouldnt fit a gasket someones had sitting in the garage would you.

There are a couple of different sizes - you can get 92.5mm bore ones cheaper, but that’s no good if you've got 93mm pistons like me

Rally design sell the same 94.5mm one as burtons, sometimes they are cheaper (although not at the moment)

they come up on ebay sometimes as well, but again thay aren’t much cheaper

93 mm, looks like wil have to go burtons though,
one it has at mo is the american (i think) 92,5, but i have valve set regression so was trying to do it cheaply, ( recently made redundant and tax and insurance due soon) as they say every little helps,
Ill order a decent one,
Just you never know what people have bought and never used,
Cheers for replys
Mitch
