corsa B project

[turbo gav]

Studs are good but £100
Dont really use a MLS gasket unless you get the block decked.
The stock gaskets do 300 bhp well enough tbh but you cant re-use so its up to you really?

[phillip1]

looks nice

[dearing5]

well im taking the whole lot out to rebuild it so...i can strip it down and see whats happening lol.

[philip2]

cant see the pics.....gay work comp!

unlucky with the motor matey. shouldnt take long to strip and build

[dearing5]

how you go about fitting studs? and whats the best gasket to put on?

[philip2]

if go for arp studs, they have an allen key hole in the top to wind them in.

if use steveboyslims studs, you have to double nut the studs to wind them in.

headgasket wise if running fairly mild spec use a goetze one. or id maybe be inclinded to spend the extra money on a cometic gasket(get from stevboyslim)

[dearing5]

cheers mate

[philip2]

gavs right though, need to get head/block skimmed to make sure flat before put metal gasket on.

also dif between £!5 or so for the goetze and £90 odd i think for the cometic!

[dearing5]

will i have to strip block right down to get it skimmed? can't i use an uprated non-metal type? i will only be running t34 around 8-10psi...3"exhaust and injectors bla bla nothing major.

[philip2]

10psi on a t34? wind it up abit lol

yeah just use the goetze gasket.

[dearing5]

well ok lol prob a bar or just over, goetze gasket? need skimming?

[philip2]
