I read a press release that stated that C.I was going to be offering a MLS HG made by Cometic for these engines. Can anyone tell me if they are available yet.
Still dealing w/ a HG availability source for my engine. I have a SCE copper HG w/ an integral wire sealing ring built-in, but it's still copper. ( And from what I've read/understand,it doesn't matter what, or how you coat it with, it's only a matter of time until it leaks)
The Crossflow stocker I have as a template is currently at Lubbock Gasket in TX, but the only thing they have to offer is a stock replacement, w/ either an inconel crimped on fire ring (rated at 250 p.s.i, or the same gasket, w/ 6 separate drop-in copper fire rings, supposedly rated at 350 p.s.i.)
It's my understanding that a turbocharged engine making 16-18 p.s.i of boost is gonna make waaay north of 350 p.s.i. cylinder pressure.
I ask because I contacted Cometic on my own over a month ago, and at that time, they stated that they didn't have the ability to build an MLS gasket for me at that time. Now that they may have the tooling in place for the stock replacement US 250,...I'm wondering if that may have changed.
That brand new copper SCE gasket probably will never get taken outta the box cost me about 275.00. On one hand, I say to myself, just buy the lubbock stocker w/ the copper ring and pray. On the other, I'm thinking how much will it cost me to not have to worry about it?
