Douglas gaskets
« on: 27 May 2006 at 06:54 »
i have just bought a set of gaskets for what appears to be a mk3 to mk5  which i am going to get reproduced as it has a few gaskets ldmcc dont have but what has raised my eyebrows is there are 2 round copper gaskets that appear to be head gaskets as well as the normal copper head gaskets
if this is the case then may explain the head gaskets blowing out on various mk models although i have only worked on a few mark models i have never seen these gaskets before

Hi Trevorp - do you intend to reproduce those gaskets with a view to selling them? If so,I would be interested in buying a set.

Regards, Mark4s

If you are making head gaskets for the Marks then please ensure they are thick enough to allow for the spigot depth.  I bought a set of gaskets from LDMCC and one head gasket blew after about 3 miles.  Fortunately Mr Douglas in his wisdom has given us two cylinders we could  (most) always get home.
