	they are 100+ just a sec, i have the price list... GSK10-C1.3MM-88 £105.60 GSK10-C1.7MM-88 £115.50 GSK10-C2.0MM-88 £115.50 Cometic Laminated metal head gaskets These gaskets are designed for high stress applications and in our tests so far, are impervious to problems experienced when using pump fuels in high compression engine and in our opinion no other gasket comes close to the Cometic gasket. We stock these gaskets for the 1.4/1.6L/2.0L 16v engines in 3 thickness 1.3mm, 1.7mm & 2.0mm (custom thickness can be made to order) 1.4/1.6 16v Gaskets will suit bore sizes up to 82mm GSK16-1.3MM-82 GSK16-1.7MM-82 GSK16-2.0MM-82 2.0L XE / LET16v Gaskets will suit bore sizes up to 88mm GSK10-C1.3MM-88 GSK10-C1.7MM-88 GSK10-C2.0MM-88

	ya wanna convert the head bolts to ARP studs, too this apparently helps get extra clamping pressure and changing the head gasket becomes less of a chore

	yup a guy on migweb tried it and his water and oil turned to dishwater

	You need to remove a small rivet from the gasket in order for it to fit. They don't work though. You will find that as soon as you turn the engine on your water will turn to mayonaise... The reason is probably because you need to use higher tourque on head bolts, but I wouldn't really want to start experimenting on the engine like that....

	yesterday i rang auto-vaux for some bits for the car, spoke to this proper sound bloke, really new his stuff. We were chatting about peter kay and chorley fm for a bit :lol: anyway i asked him about uprated headgaskets for my redtop and he said they dont do one specific but they do sell a lot of z20let gaskets to ppl who put them on the c20xe's does anybody know if they fit straight on or do you have to modify it in someway? :boggle:
