Urgent Help with a Head Gasket.... Now sorted

(1/2) > >>

Cassillis:
Trying to get my 1996 300Tdi Defender up and running after I drowned her.
Down to the last knockings and don't have a head gasket :roll:
 
They come in three different thicknesses and I don't have the old gasket which would have the marks on it to denote its thickness.

Anyone got any advice please.

Cyberprog:
Has it been replaced before? Has it been skimmed? eBay are cheaper than LR for the kit's, someone's selling em for about £25 quid, the only snag being that they were mis-punched with a single hole, when they are the three hole thickness.

blackbob:
just fit the thickest one avalible then you wont damage anything

J13 MUD:
Its very important to use the correct gasket, you can calculate the gasket thickness from the attachment here (pt 1), and here (pt 2). Remember that the head bolts should be replaced if you are uncertain how many times they have been used. (I think they have a maximum use of 5 times)

I hope this helps.
