sparkystav Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Ok so I don't need it for a Mkiv but my Lexus but I, hoping someone can help. Does anyone know and recommend anywhere that can make a custom thickness multi layer steel headgasket? I've one they can use as a template etc but I need it thicker and don't fancy the 2 gaskets on top of each other idea. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Cometic UK will do these, or you can disassemble a gasket and add a custom thickness, laser cut intermediate layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkystav Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 If I was to go the route of a thicker middle, do I just get a sheet of steel the right thickness then get it cut and all riveted together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I wouuld ask Cometic to do one, I thnk you would need ground steel, maybe ground stainless steel, and there's a limit how thick one spacer sheet can be. I have seen some where there are two spacer sheets and three embossed shims. I am sure there's a lot of science in it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
