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.

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.

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.
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.
