Nigel Posted March 12, 2001 Share Posted March 12, 2001 This past weekend I finally got around to taking a close look at the metal head gasket I got from Motorsport Auto. The holes for the cylinders are oval!!! It's not obvious just by looking at them, but put the gasket on a block, and you can't miss it. I measured them, and the holes are slightly over 89mm by slightly under 85mm. That's more than 4mm out of round! I'm not building some exotic F1 engine, so I've got to call Motorsport today and send this gasket back. Weird! ***UPDATE*** It turns out MSA sent me a stock $22 head gasket for an L24. I've never seen a stock Nissan head gasket before, and it is made of metal, so that's why I didn't clue in right away that it was the wrong part. Anyway, it's all sorted out now and the correct gasket should be on its way soon. Nigel '73 240Z (L28 Turbo - if I had the right head gasket!)
