I didn't even know that there was such a thing (1.6L MLS gasket).  Got a link?

Super nice guy.  Dont be afraid of the long distance/communication.  He is a stand up professional.

He is going to start listing them on ebay.  He had no idea he was the only option and never kept any in stock/tried to market.

Im always after hydro engines, but im plumb out at the moment, so mechanical big turbo it is :)

This is the first time ever Im using a fully rebuilt block/head/everything new.

Ive been slapping my big turbo and giles pump onto all sorts of high mileage engines and using them up.

Really wish i had a ported mechanical head!  Always used 1.9's on my hydro's.
