I think I have found a source for the stamped steel head gaskets. They measure .020 thick. They are listed on a company website in New Zeland>. Price listed is $30 ea. If any one is interested let me know, and I will get back to them, to check total pricing, with shipping. I think we would need to do a group buy, to make it feasable. |

Excellent sleuthing Charrlie, Leave it it to the NZ and Aussies to get some good parts for our Engines. I think most folks now have been just cutting the extra 0.020" - 0.030" off their Head and using a felpro or whatever else is available. Greg |

Actually, found them by accident. I googled the part number (AP210) of the aussie gaskets, just to get a price (I have some), and a web site came up. The two types of gasket were listed. I sent a e-mail to confirm they were the shim gasket, and got a reply saying they were. |

Charlie, is there any chance that they would send you both styles of the head gaskets? I would like a couple more of the Big Bore gasket if they were available. I know the shipping from Oz added about $10-15 to the price of the head gaskets when I did the group buy years ago. Thanks! |

I'd be in for 2-3 shim gaskets and maybe 1-2 more of the big bores. Lou |

I'll give it a couple of more days, then get back to them. I don't see why they would not sell/send either /both gaskets.Thanks! I would like to throw a possible number of gaskets to an order, and get a price estamit |

As i have never used a steel shim head gasket , can someone explain the use and benefit of these over say a standard Felpro which i have always used. I will be doing another engine next year as my current engine which is Supercharged is getting fairly sad . As i live in Australia i googled AP210 and only came up with Permaseal and AA gaskets with no reference to steel shim AP210 . Would you be able to PM the website so i can order from here if this is what i need . I am only running low boost at the moment but may look at going up to around 7 - 10 PSI . |

OK, here's the deal. Shim gaskets $30.00 ea. 35 available Permaseal Ap210 composition gasket $40.00 ea. Only 8 available at this time. Shipping to me works out to $7.00 ea gasket, if I place an order for a total of18 or more gaskets. Then there would be shipping to you. Let me know who is in for how many |

Charlie, if there are two of the Permaseal ones still available, put my name on them. I can pay now if you prefer. |
