| Post subject: | Gaskets! |
I have everything else ready to go just the gaskets which seem to be a pita to find as a whole. Im using the 2g/1g combo, so i need a 7 bolt overhaul head kit and a 6 bolt bottom end overhaul kit. I found the head kit but apparently i need to buy every gasket separately for the bottom end.  For those of you who have used this combo, where can i find for what im looking for? |

from my past experience I had to buy a complete 1g kit then the 2g gaaskets separate the only difference is the intake gasket and thermostat housing gaskets. I get everything from extremepsi.com. or get in touch with RRE they may be able to help you more. |

the fel-pro gasket set imho is a POS I only recommend the OEM gaskets as they are much better quality. that set doesnt come with the o-ring for the oil cooler. |

Wally, OEM only dude. Fm, is that the only difference? Can someone tell me the difference in gaskets? What about the head gaskets? As in the valve seals and all that good stuff? |

the valve seals will be the same between the 1g and 2g heads. the head gasket will also be the same. all of the cam seals will be the same along with the valve cover gaskets and the cas gasket. depending on which water neck you have will depend on the gaskets for it. if its the 2g water neck then the gasket between the head and housing will need to be from a 2g set along with the o-ring for the water pipe. other wise 1g will use the 1g gasket and no o-ring as the hose goes on the water pipe. I hope I didnt confuse you too bad. |

I thought the 1g and 2g hgs were different?? I'm using the stock 2g water neck, obviously with a 1g water pump. I'm assuming I need a 2g gasket for that? |

the only difference that i can think would be the stud holes being smaller on a 2g head gasket. but with the head being fitted to a 6 bolt the 1g would need to be used but a 2g could be used when the holes are enlarged. I have used 1g and 2g head gaskets on mine with no ill effects. currently im using an oem mls though. and yes you will need the 2g water neck gasket and o-ring. |

Well I'll be more than likely just be getting the 6 bolt kit, in total how many different gaskets would I need to buy separately? |

Head gaskets are the same for dsm 6 bolt and 7 bolt motors. The gaskets for most of the bottom end are different and are not interchangable. Mitsubishi doesn't make a gasket "kit" We have to order every gasket individually when we're putting a motor together at the shop. So if you want oem gaskets, you won't find a kit unless someone somewhere was bored and lonely and felt like tossing something together. There really aren't that many gaskets so its not that big of a hassle to get the parts. If you don't feel comfortable finding the correct gaskets for your specific engine then shoot me an email at Gus@roadraceengineering.com and ill help you out with part numbers. |
