Hi
I am currently rebuilding the cylinder head for the corsa 1.7D (Isuzu Engine)
My Engineering Co (tried and trusted) tell me that the head set is £45 Excluding head gasket - Awch
The Headgasket itself is for a pukka OEM spec jobbie is "about £70 addie" - HOW MUCH!!!!!
"it's because it is an I - Ring Gasket"
"O"
Call it a daft question but I was feeling a bit gutted at the time and not thinking right, but what the hell is a I - Ring Gasket?
He also tells me that they do cheaper versions at £30-£40 "people do use them, but then again people use anything"
Any opinions/experiences on the cheaper gaskets...
I am generally of the mind that if it is worth doing, it is worth doing well, but £70 for a 4-pot gasket?
Hmmmm id be happy £70 for the headset incl gasket..
Geez you should see the vale spring compressors I have been lent...
