i was looking on ebay and i found a set of gaskets starting bid $19.99 and the guy doesnt know what what there for if anyone can tell me what there for as i am desparetly in need of new gaskets any help will be greatly apreaciated Cheers Rick

If the gaskets are for an A-Series, please talk to NISPARES in Melbourne.

They also only cost about AU$20 and it's for a gasket set.

After postage.. Ebay is not always the best method.

They get my "2 thumbs up rating". I bought my rear door skins from them.

Cheers

thanx alot chris i will ring them tommorow cheers

Just had another look at the phto man. On second thought I reckon it is A12. I thought the rocker gasket was the sump one. Pretty confident it is a12 though. However sounds like the price is too high.

i no the a12 and a14 head gasket is the same i dont no about the a15

Quote: This is not necessarily so.
The A10 & the A12 from Datsun 1200's are the same as each other, as these had the additional hole for the rocker oiling.

When the revised A12 was introduced in 1974[?] it used a diferent method of rocker oiling, & this additional hole may not be present in gaskets listed as being for the 120Y & A12 Sunny's.

A14/15 engines used a diferent gasket as these engines went to the larger 76mm bore size. You could use the A14/15 gasket on a late A12, but i would be a bit shy about using a late A12 gasket [small bore] on the A14/15 block.

The early A10 & 1200 gasket should be OK on a late A12 as the extra hole in the gasket does not interfere with anything.

The last head gasket that i used in my GX was an A14/15 type, & i used a wad punch to make the extra hole that was necessary for the early engine's rocker oiling. I needed to use this gasket as i had a 76.5mm bore size.

Feral is making some top notch head gaskets just for crazies like me.
