cygnusx1 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I saw that before but I don't think they make one for us little L-series motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Wasn't Nissan Comp making a gasket like that back in the 80's? I thought they had one with separate gas filled fire rings like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 i posted this in an RB thread. I should have made a new one for everyone to see. good stuff! im considering this gasket for my build. but the smallest size available is 1.3 mm, i think i need to go with a 1.0 to get the compression i want without having to slice the head too much.

Yeah, I don't think it was a metal gasket they used, more a conventional fiber gasket, but same setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 ive been using cometic gaskets for years on bikes didnt know they made car stuff... i used to work for a rider that was sponsered by them.. i wouldnt doubt that they would turn down a chance to make a new gasket though...

TimZ Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yeah, I don't think it was a metal gasket they used, more a conventional fiber gasket, but same setup. I'm currently using that Nissan head gasket. Yes the gasket is a conventional fiber gasket - metal reinforced as I recall. Same stuff as the stock gasket with holes where the stock sealing rings used to be. I was hoping maybe the Cometic Phuzion gaskets would be available for the L-series, since the Nissan piece is getting hard to find and was pretty freakin expensive last time I checked ($240 for the gasket - $40 each for the rings ). The idea looks similar enough that I hoped maybe I could just use the Phuzion gasket with my fire rings. Anybody have a good method for cutting holes out of a standard stock gasket?

e_racer1999 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 custom = expensive. maybe with enough interest they will make one permanently.... if they don't already, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
