I received my two head gaskets from Canada via UPS today - perfect timing!
Man was I bummed when I opened the package and discovered they are three hole gaskets!
Part number Victor Reinz 61-31225-30
Back on the hunt
OK - all is well.
The three holes you see are not punched all the way through - only one is.
The new gasket is 2.12 mm
The one I had already installed and torqued several times (which only has one hole) measures 1.94 mm.
My guess is that the two I received will mash to the same thickness.
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Big thanks to the very helpful dude to the North for really going the extra mile.

That makes more sense. I try to avoid UPS for international stuff.
Looking forward to seeing some videos
hey giz... what you doing with the old one? i need 1 to play with... a used one would be great.. else i guess who i need to hit up for a new one.. but hell i do not even know if this engine idea will work.. so a cheap used one would be perfect..

A pm and an address will get it to ya.
Frankly, I think its quite usable - just didn't want to chance it. BTW, I had it torqued to 125 ft/lbs per ARP spec.

I have the old HG from my 1.6 that was the 1 notch metal. Let me know if you need it for a template, as it was used.
