I have to change the head gasket on my 280 ZX TT 83 and i need to purchase some ARP studs, but from where?? (for the head)
By the way my local turbo guru means that the standard head gasket will hold up fine if I mill both surfaces - he only uses O-ringing on tractors with boost up to 20 bar 280psi !!! - try that on a L28 engine and see the head fly to the moon.
On those he makes the grove on both the head and the block and use copper wire on the block side to force the gasket to make a lump up in to the head - unbreakable he says.
I have a Motorsport catalog and the only reinforced head gaskets they have has a bore of 91 mm in either 1 or 2mm thickness.
I MEAN THEY ARE USELESS!!!!!(unless uoy have 91mm pistons.
Where can i find a cupper gasket that fits my standard pistons and have the standard thickness- i thought Motorsport had everything??
Let the boost be with you.
