Do any of you blokes know where I can lay my hands on an 810 multi layered steel head gasket for the GPZ750 turbo? There seems to be a few fibre ones available, but they don't hold out for long, and leak from the camchain tunnel area.
I don't want to go copper, and then have wire-ring grooves cut into the head, I'd rather [if possible] use the MLS, as I'm not looking for 30 psi boost or more............just 18-20[:p]
Mind you, if a copper headgasket is the only way.......so be it;)

If you have to go copper don't just put o rings in also a receiver groove on the opposite face, fairly definite specs on these, i'll recheck and post up if you need.

Have you tried Bert Kingston in BNE? 07 3868 1662. Hillsy recommended him to me a while back and he had just what I needed

Thanks guys, I have sent Bert an email,and it looks like Serco have a CFM gasket, which is the one that is in there now,and don't know that I trust that style to handle the boost.
Athena don't do an mls, by the looks of the online shop.
Booster, that would be great mate, I still may have to go copper, 'cause I am over having head gasket leaks.
Somebody posted a fix for the cam tunnel leak, a pair of 6mm? allen-head bolts drilled and tapped into the outer front edges of the cam tunnel, but I forget who it was, and where it is.
