Head rebuild - David - 25-02-2013
I've started to look into rebuilding my head after the HG went. Looking on euro car parts and I'm really confused with all the gaskets
Can someone help me out please

That will be fine for a headgasket. 3notch will be fine too.
You will need head studs (about £30) and a head set (also about £30) which includes all your water seals and injector seals and such.
Highly recommended to pressure test and skim the head too.
Edit can you see the link?

I would get better head studs, if you intend to keep boosting a td04.

Obviously if funds allow. Do this... I'm pretty sure it's why my HG blew. And if your planning to do the K03s or GT route you were talking about then it would be a definite!

Where would I get better head studs from though?

Need to speak to Ruan, Darren, ash maybe James.
Think it's mi-16 bolts with specially made spacers. (Please research this or ask someone)

do some research on the headgaskets...
lots of thicknesses available...so its to your preference really
RE: Head rebuild - Dave - 27-02-2013
Get a straight bar on the head and see if its actually warped... if not then it will be fine... the gasket can take upto 2 thou anyway, but this is only if the head goes due to no actual water in it... normally it just lifts slightly due to cylinder pressures over time and breaks away from the gasket causing pressurisation not from frying the head - obviously make sure you clean the head properly first though if you go down this route, but you'll save yourself £25 on a skim which could be unnecessary.
Also, I wouldnt worry about getting arp/uprated studs unless your running post 30psi boost, and if you're doing this then your HG is not your biggest worry. The stock studs are fine if you're just on a bogo 9mm pump/wastegated blower, just trying to save you a few pennies.

Still on standard head bolts and touch wood no signs of pressurisation yet, then again i'm not running silly boost, most i've taken it up to is 24psi at the mo.
