Uprated head gasket.....

(1/2) > >>

Disco-Ron:
A mate is working on a disco 300tdi... he's doing some mods to it, can you get an uprated head gasket??? if so, from where..??

Cheers.,

chris9119:
Define "up-rated" :!:  :!:

Budgie:
IIRC the standard head gaskets for a 300 TDi are composite gaskets anyway but they come in three different thicknesses, dependent of what is already fitted.
So you don't know which one you need until you take it apart!!

I not heard of an uprated version of the composite though, I know the composite gasket is an upgrade if you have a V8 with the older tin head gaskets.

bilge rat:
iff yourve rebuilt the engine might be worth checking the piston protrusion as its this that deters which thickness off h/gasket you need, the other thing i'd go for the old elring type not the new multi type steel gasket .heard a few reports of oil leakage when fitted. in fact ive one here some where.alan.......

Porny:
Not sure if you can get uprated ones off the shelf...

But I would make sure I bought a genuine part one!
