possible head gaskets for VW
« on: November 29, 2009, 08:29:22 am »
I would need to do a lot of research and find some materials to work with, but I have a guy that lazer cut headgaskets. I was leaning toward copper as I don't have a clue about a regular MLS HG how to make it. I would probably also need some design help...The point is if I could get ANY format(CAD, excell, MS paint, whatever) of a HG layout he said he could cut it out. I don't know where to go with it, but I figured you guys would either have interest and we could figure it out.

what are head gasket spacers used to drop compression on turbo gas motors typically made of?

that would probably be a good place to start

Multi Layered Steel.
I am just thinking of trying something with him since I have a 1.6 MF mechinical head and am running the 1.9L MLS head with the oil cap siliconed in there. He could cut me a copper one with no hole to plug:D But I haven't even ran my MLS in the turbo yet so I have some time to think on this.
