Does anyone make MLS head gaskets for our engines?

tylertitus14 · 02-10-2012, 01:53 AM

I've searched high and low and came up with nothing. I've seen a forum member named JWG mention using them, but he hasn't posted since 09 so I am guessing he won't get my PM!

I have read that the 30 valve gaskets are very close to ours, does anyone know the differences between the 30v and 12v gaskets?

Or even better, does anyone know the where I can find myself a pair of MLS gaskets made specifically for the 12v? Even just the name of the manufacture would suffice.

(If your curious why I'm looking for MLS gaskets, it's because I intend on spraying the new engine I'm building. If I can't locate MLS' I'll have to settle for oem Audi gaskets.)

i dont recall seeing them for our cars, and i dont know about the competabilety of a 30v and a 12v head gasket

Actually they are very close. There's a port on the front side of the head that doesn't have enough meat to put the pressure on the area. I actually had a machine shop weld aluminum and milled it back down. But it does work. I have this on my supercharged setup a while back. Also FYI you can use 2 sets of 8v VW ARP head studs for ours too.

Cool it'll work good. Actually my head is for sale if you know anyone one that wants it. Its completely port and polish, 1mm oversize supertech valves intake/exhaust, titanium retainers, upgrade valve springs. I also have for sell equal length headers from Stasis Engineering that they used on their race cars.

Send me an email to tylertitus14@gmail.com If you could send me the details on the parts (IE what brand they are, etc.) and hopefully some pictures (preferably of the port work) that would be great. I may be interested in the heads, lets talk!
