MLS head gasket for the Volvo 740 D24T
« on: February 16, 2012, 01:14:01 am »
Is there a multi layer steel head gasket available for this engine?

I've left a message with Cometic, IPD doesn't carry any diesel parts and so I thought that some of the D24 or D24T guys would have a clue?

Any info would help.

Yes, Volvo discontinued fiber halfway through production.
It should have holes instead of notches.

I would ask on the D24T site. WWW.D24T.com, oddly enough.

I built one of these a while back. Just got it back on the road. I was unable to get a head gasket at the time. Got a fiber one off ebay. Im running about 15 psi. No problems yet.

The site was hacked last week, not sure if it's fixed.  Feels like the hacker might be fishing for passwords.
