1: don't need the money (unless the offer is 1000% profit)

3: i don't have a 401k plan (gaskets = 401k)
4: here comes the conservative side of me "got mine you get yours"

I could say more but then again......I think you pretty well covered it

Kurt when you sell your parts you like to make 1000% profit but when it comes to others selling parts they can only make 100%.
But that's not the reason.

Pete,

Your parts, do what you like, the original poster as well as Jerry made mention of where to get them, i offered a solution.

I don't know why all the worry about head gaskets all of a sudden, when the need arises they will be made available.

In the meantime until someone steps up and re-makes these gaskets, i propose this. I'll send Jerry 10 LH gaskets @ $50.00 and Pete, you send Jerry 10 sets of the RH gaskets @ $50.00 each, that way everyone wins. I've got plenty of LH gaskets and you've got 30 + RH, will this work?

Kurt, sell me the LH.

Anybody have LH gaskets i will buy for $50 new.

While you guys bicker like a bunch of old hens over the last piece of corn.....I have call outs to a company in AU that makes Astadur based products, and a call to a fiat engine rebuilder to see what they are using and if they have a resource, as the fiat used the same material. Also sent a note to Victor Reinz about gasket production.





Cluck you all!

Victor Rein is Dana is Mahle, so although polite they are unable to help. I am pleading for rings sets now. Other alternatives out there...will keep looking.

Will call these guys today:

Just so there is no misunderstanding , I am still actively working on a head gasket solution. When I have a solution, I will post then.

Also, Oem rings are available. I have them. Yes, they are expensive. My price is less tha half of the GM price. I have abt 15 sets. There is a reason they are so expensive, it's the oil ring. It's not your ordinary stamped steel expanded with plated, spring steel wipers. The OEM is a one piece, cast ring with integral wipers & vent slots. Lotus engineers must have chosen this design for a reason over the conventional, less expensive & common design.

I'm not trying to sell anyone anything they don't want. Buy whatever you prefer, just want to make sure that everyone knows OEM rings are available.... For the present time.

Mahle has nothing, no matches for rings or gaskets. Jerry if you are confident in your Head Gasket search, I will let it go.....rings came up because the first person at Mahle told me all they have the rings....turns out he was wrong.


Also, did not see your post on fixing heads/covers ran across the article while looking at the 308 rebiuld.

Thanks Jerry!
