Headgasket for 8v tu

[MiniGibbo]

worth upgrading..?

[blackie_2k5]

Just get an mls anyway mate, not massively expensive :)

[MiniGibbo]

A what one :oops:

[piperrs]

Multi layer steel, instead of fibre.

[MiniGibbo]

Where's the best place to find one of them...?

[jeffchiz]

i bought a h/g through my local motorist discount shop and it was an MLS one

[blackie_2k5]

If you buy one for a vts it'll be mls from any motor factors

Gmc sell them too, eBay aswel iirc but I wouldn't buy one off there

[MiniGibbo]

Apparently the alloy wet liner tu's don't like mls gaskets..

I planned to just fit an oem one from the dealers but the guy I bought the engine off has made me paranoid now :S

[sje00]

No point.

[MiniGibbo]

to add onto this, how does the gasket sets compare in quality to the ones you can get at motorfactors..?

[sam_16v]

Pm mandyslover he sells Gaskets and cheap aswell but top quality :y:

[MiniGibbo]

Any idea what gaskets they are.?

[sam_16v]

mls and fibre :y: when i asked for a gasket for my old vts a while back mandyslover was gonna sell me a mls gasket and head bolts for £55 delivered which is a really good price he also works on saxos alot and has good reputation for good work he sells parts he uses so it isnt cheap shite that will fail

[MiniGibbo]

I meant brand, you can't use a mls gasket with wet liners as they don't like them.

[sam_16v]

he does fibre aswell like i said in previous post not sure on brand though drop him a pm he is always willing to help
