check out realoem.com and compare the part numbers for the gaskets for both engines/years and all will be revealed

cheers for that, most useful site that is heheheheee,
it would seem they are the same part numbers but there are two types with different thicknesses. so fudge it, gonna try it with the one i got and see what happens

This sounds reasonable to me,on the face side of the head,in opposite corners there is a dimple in the casting,when this dissappears,the head has been skimmed to it's limit.maxfield wrote:One thickness will be for when a head has been skimmed.
