Mk2 G60 upgrades and or standard parts
« on: 12 January 2011, 13:36 »
Hi guys,

I have an 8v G60 and am looking at having the headgasket and timing belt replaced.

The car has a stage 4 Charger with a smaller pulley, TSR 4 branch etc. no major mods but i wanted to know if a new standard headgasket will suffice and if so where would be the best place to purchase the parts from.

Thanks

Alex

Standard headgasket will be fine, get rubber over cork though. As to where to get it from, GFS, Motorfactors, VAG dealer?  :smiley:

Rubber or cork headgasket?? Personally I'd use a standard mls (multi layer steel) headgasket :grin: or by a Cometic one if you fancy an upgrade.

Hey mate, i am a bit concerned because there was a lot of sh*t in the catch tank, it was a mix of fuel and oil and milky in colour. :sad:
Ive got a mate that will do head gasket and timing belt for £150 so am quite keen to just get it done.
Not sure if i told you but the car was tuned by Storm Developments last month and it is rapid now, spinning up in third!
Ill get some pics over to you as its looking very clean inside and out.  :smiley:
