    find your local GSF mate and you want the 1.9mm blue rimmed one not the red 1.6 standard one..

    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.

    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.
