Parts to use on AAN 400+

[K7ERG]

Looking around for a head gasket for my AAN.
It will ne running GT3071R

I am looking for pointers in what gasket to go for.

RS2 head gasket
034 Multi layer gasket
034 Copper gasket
034 lower Compression gasket

Genuine rod bearings
034 rod bearings
034 RS2 rod bearings

Also will it be a benefit to have the 034 adjustable fuel regulator.

Thanks in advance

Anyone point me in the right direction of what parts to get.

Standard answer is stock RS2 head gasket and ABY/ADU big end bearings. With that turbo you might want to lower the CR? Your going to need thicker head gasket or different pistons in that case.

Mark.

P.S. i hope rods are on your list?

I have the Scat rods.

So yours saying the 034 lower compression head gasket
With the RS2 bearings

cheers for the reply

Not exactly, decide first what CR you want to run, then how best to achieve that. Ideal solution is to buy new pistons, or have the stock ones machined to lower the CR.

I'd wait to get some first hand opinions for the high HP guys on here before making your mind up.

I hav used the std RS2 Head Gasket with te GT3071.
I also bought the 034 RS2 bearings and uprated Rods from 034.

bigger cams, and bigger fuelpump, bigger injektors, and tubular EM .... and at least garret gt 30-35 turbo, and some custom IC....

Got the GT3071R
7a exhaust cam
big front mount intercooler 2.5" pipe work
tubular manifold
3" downpipe and exhaust
55lb injectors

you forgot the fuelpump: borch 044 ( in line) or 040 ( in tank) or similar if you have the thin pierburg item in tank.... the first place it will go bad... no fuel= no power or wrecked engine.

Not sure if it will fit but i usually us a Evo6 uprated pump rated to 600bhp

Witht the right mapping shouldn't need to lower the CR with a 3071. Standard RS2 metal gasket will do the job.

You couldn't use a copper gasket anyway without o-ringing the block!
