AHU/AAZ 81mm headGaskets?
« on: November 16, 2015, 11:23:20 am »
Does anyone know of an oem gasket that will fit for 81mm bores on the AHU/AAZ?   I have tried ABA, and AEG gaskets from the gas motors, but the oil and coolant passages dont 100% line up.   If not I have a company willing to make some at $250 each if someone else is interested I can look into quantity pricing.   This would also work on older 1.6TD and 1.9TD motors for those looking to go to the newer pistons offered.

No such animal exists. The AHU and AAZ use totally different gaskets and pistons too.

Yeah I noticed... even the gas gaskets with 82mm holes the oil lines and coolant dont line up.  Time for a custom one.. .anyone else want one?

in anycase i dont think there is anycase you can actually use a gas head gasket in a diesel, even if the 'holes line up'.
