I can sort out normal ones for you easily, but can also get the Corteco head gasket from one of our suppliers, wasn't cheap though as it was something like £10 carriage additional because they dont really deal with that supplier.

:D

:disagree:
:disagree:
As Mart implies nothing wrong with std gasket as long as fueling and cooling is setup correctly but then the same applies to both h.g types crap setup and H/G at least will will go whatever the case
Fitting the thicker gasket will naturally lower the c/r too(*), which, on an already low ish c/r engine, isn't a good thing.
* Unless you've skimmed the head to compensate for that of course.
The question here is can you actually buy standard gaskets anymore? Id rather fit a mellior or payen than some of the cheap crap out there.
I got an ultraparts head gasket on its own sitting here in my works draw, also some valve stem seals, should really empty my work draws every now and then :crap:
