Hi guys just rang repco about some gasket paper.Apparently theres 2 different types,one normal and one with a thin sheet off metal in the centre.Which one do i need?

Is it better to buy one perhaps? Might save you alot of hassle?

Hi clyons im getting work done to the head,so the standard one wont be any good.Im getting the 8 port converted into 4 larger ports,like this.

I'd still use a standard one and just trim it back, atleast the bolt holes and the outside edges are already the right shape.

So guys do i need the gasket paper with the thin steel middle,what the plan is is to buy the normal gasket copy it onto the gasket paper,then do the mods,then cut it out.

The one with metal is not needed for non-Turbo use.

Just use gasket material of the appropriate thickness.

Hi dd its a det so im guessing that i need the metal one.

The surfaces are flat and even, they will only see 30 pound boost.
It's still not close to the head pressures of 200-300psi seen in the cylinder.

Just buy a standard paper gasket, trim it to suit, and correctly torque everything.

yea dattodude is right ,i did that on my a15 when i ported it ,just sit the gasket over the studs on the head then dremel the inside out to suit, easy ,cheap and wont leak like a home made gasket will

plus will look 10 times neater

I might have a spare gasket laying around I can probably mcdat but I won't be home for 2 weeks if u can wait that long?
