headgasket overhaul

[djtez]

My car just the other day encountered a problem (head gasket)
i knew all the sypthoms and proceeded yesterday to strip the head off..

i took out the cam first which had marking on the dizzy end (bp 27 ohy g40) and few other figures..
not all clear but i will try take a foto. is this a Standard cam?!!

i am very interested and concerned about the gasket replacment..
wat gasket should i buy.. i didn't think high compression was good for the g40?
im worried about skimmin the head? can i get a thicker gasket?
some one mentions on clubpolo about a metal gasket

[PeteG40]

see my post in yr other post

[hayesey]

I guess that "someone" would be me

I wouldn't worry in the slightest about skimming the head reducing compression ratio.  The g40 has the combustion chamber in the pistons with a pretty much flat head so skimming the head makes such a small difference to compression ratio you needn't worry about it, as I said on clubpolo.

The metal gasket is from a mk4 polo 8v engine and will raise compression if you want it to be higher.

can i have a part number for this

is this a 1.3 cl out the 6n polo?

this my best option.. i have noticed a post on this site about a psd gasket?
not much difference no ?

[hayesey]

it's the one from the MPI engines, 1.4, 1.6.  Look for the one for AEX engine code on GSF website.

GSF part number - 030-103-383AH is what i have used

HTH

ok thanks , im not argueing against your knowledge but how does a 1.4 or 1.6 gasket fit on a 1.3 ??
are the water channels still the same ?

[PeteG40]

yes they are!

[djtez]

ahh thank you.. im ordering the parts RIGHT NOW lol excited but im stuck lol

i've got a head gasket .. rocker gasket.. sump gasket(i need one)
inlet and exhaust..
which valve stem seal do i need!!
is the one (all engine fitted with 6mm valves) ? wat else ... i cant think.. brain.. freeze ahhhh

[djtez]

im confused with findin a camshaft seal? my one when i took the cam out the little spring that i assume holds the seal tight to the cam wasen't holding in place..
so ill just replace it

[PeteG40]

cam/crank oil seal are teh same bit...      you also need 10x headbolts
