Head Gaskets? - Page 3 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

This may not be the place for me to say that "I'm in" if we need people to pre-pay and pre-order head gaskets.....tell me how much and where to send the cash.

Thanks to you guys that do the research into this stuff!

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, i'll trade you for 10 sets of main bearing sets.

Struck out on the first guy.......he has built one off head gaskets...Lambos, old 12 cyl cars, etc....he has apparently called it quits....

I noted that there is a Fiat and Alpha gasket that is coated the same as a the Z, called the repro manufacturer, who is in Chicago area, left message.

There is a company that produces the coating also....I noted that the intent of the coating is to avoid a retorque. Apparently copper and other gaskets might require a retorque in our application.

Id buy a pair for just in case. GC

Here a few reasons why i won't sell.

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.

I do have 10 sets of LH & RH.

1: don't need the money (unless the offer is 1000% profit)
2: don't wanna pay 1000 times more later
3: i don't have a 401k plan (gaskets = 401k)

4: here comes the conservative side of me "got mine you get yours"

Sounds fair enough to me

. I got no problem with that attitude at all.
