Hello,

I'm after a 87mm 1.2mm thick headgasket for my rebuild.
Tomei or HKS don't make them anymore and I defo don't want Cometic.

Any idea?

Thx for help! :)

Cosworth

20000924 Nissan SR20DET (2.0L) Bore = 87mm T ~ 1.1mm
20000925 Nissan SR20DET (2.0L) Bore = 87mm T ~ 1.5mm
20000926 Nissan SR20DET (2.0L) Bore = 87mm T ~ 1.8mm

I bought a cosworth then changed plans and bought a Tomei. I can't say a little had much problem sourcing either. I used eBay or Frs sport in the states. Both are good quality but need minor mods for our GtiR

It seems Cosworth HG are for regular SR20DET, i.e. for S14s, with 11mm head bolts. :-(
I do like Tomei items but they are listed are NLA. :-(
Hence my post.

We use cosworth gaskets all the time. You only need to enlarge the dowel holes to use on a gtir.

For some reason people think thisis a big deal. Its not.

Use amber performance they keep good stock.

I had a tool made to punch out bigger holes. Not sure how other people do it. Perhaps a file or die grinder or something.

I'll measure it this week-end.
BTW, I'm totally impressed by Amber Perf. HG ordered yesterday afternoon. Received this morning. Considering I live in France, that's damn fast!
