[Fot] Best head gasket revisited

[Joe Boruch]

 I just checked with Cometic and they do not make a MLS head gasket for the TR3/4 engine.  Only copper or composite.  They cannot do a valve relief in the composite gasket - only round bores.  They can do a custom valve relief in copper, but those are already available from other sources.  They can do custom bigger bores for the composite gasket, such as a 91mm that another lister had posted a part number for back in July or August. 
They want $3-4000 to develop a MLS gasket so unless there was a huge interest, it is not feasible for me to do and go into the head gasket selling business.  Joe B

 I’ll have to contact Cometic again.  It was probably 10 years ago that I called them.  They wanted me to give them a block and head and then order 100 gaskets.  Was not feasible.  Joe B

Cometic will do a custom gasket for a minimal one time charge. I've had a Spitfire gasket made thick to make up for an over zealous block milling and another one with a wider piston opening. Once they make the design changes, they send you a PDF with the dimensions listed for your approval. When it's OK, they assign a part number and CNC it out. Design turn around is about a week and another week to make it. After the first one is made, just call up and order replacements with your customer number, no extra charges.
