I took the astura for MOT yesterday , unfortunately it blew its head gasket , I knew something wasn't quite right as there was a slight misfire however now there is coolant on top of the bell housing which has come from the joint between the head and block .
I will be having some composite gaskets made abroad , these are using the Australians design and manufacturer of having an extra lip on the flame ring for better sealing . No idea on price yet as we are only starting talks on the subject today , these gaskets will be for the later 3ltr engine not the 2.6 , anyone interested please contact me on jamesparry1@btconnect.com or 07961713441, as with previous batches of manufacture that I have done THIS WILL ONLY BE DONE ONCE ! I expect to sent the pattern gasket away early next week the approximately a 3 week turn around
