The V8 Owners Forum -

hello all,

Has anyone used the competition head gaskets V8D sell a pair for £80.

and what is the compressed thickness of these?

I'm looking for something 96mm bore and 1mm thick when compressed....

I like the cometic ones, just don't like the £200+ price tag.

cheers

They are 1.2mm thick..

I will run them on couple of year´s go.. They are not as good as Elring´s. But only choice for big bore engines if you dont want to run cometic.

They may leak oil in the middle of the block/cylinder head.. But i think they will need re torqueing after first start up.. This may eliminate oil leaking. Never done this, but next time will do when i install them..

I have got 1 set of 96mm new cometic gasket´s they are 1mm thick. Only problem is that i live in Finland. I can sell them to 150£, But freight and payment might be an another issue..
