Head gasget

[AndersS2]

Im in need for new head gasget as there is coolant lekaing out in a small area between cylinder 1 & 2 right side.
I also suspeckt that the head has been overheated and twisted a little bit, so i probobly have to machine it.

But, as i need a new headgasget, what do i need to go for, and what are the options?

(tried the search button, but did not get directe anwsers),
thanks in advance,

As for the head gasket get the Victor Reinz gaskets which are the same as the Audi OEM but cheaper.

Can be bought from ECP or GSF

Thanks Jamo!

i did not see that when searching earlier

Is it possible/wise to go for a thicker gasget as i will fit the new ex manifold, in/ex-cams, inside porting and go for higher boost, then to be more safe to lower the compression?

I can offer you a compression dropping head gasket if you wish but the RS2 item is more than capable, unless you are going for some serious HP?

Well i'm only aiming at 450-500 durable hp. nothing more (for the moment).
So the OEM rs2 gasget will be good for that job?

i think i will be running at 1.8-1.9 bar boost with the new setup.
Maybe i also will skimm some off the pistins later on to drop the CR even more
