wayne ingham Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I found a gasket set on eBay did not use the head gasket .only got the headset as it was cheaper than getting the gaskets one by one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlinetta Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I've sourced a lot of mechanical parts, gaskets, etc from this German (Opel parts) site - www.edelschmiede.com The owner - Thomas - is a friendly guy who will email you in english (though you need to use google translate to decipher invoices before payment).

H-400 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) In Belgium those gasket sets are still availeble in our local car-parts shop. They are made by Reinz and never had problems wth those sets. Edited October 2, 2015 by H-400 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEEDZ Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thanks for replies I've hopefully managed to order a head gasket set, bar the sump gasket from a motor factors eventually. They always ask for a reg number but as its not going in a Gte i cant give 1. I should maybe of got a reg from a picture. Cheers Rob i will keep that in mind.

MANTAMAN Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 One thing to look out for with aftermarket head gaskets is the coolant holes. GM original head gaskets have holes through them on both sides of the block to allow coolant to pass into/from the cylinder head, aftermarket sets like Payan etc omit the holes on the spark plug side, i would guess it makes little difference or there would be reports of over heating problems after an engine rebuild, but i always make holes where they have been omitted just to be safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
