Oversize head gasket

[CGL325i]

Lads,
I am running an M20 with 3 litre Ireland Engineering stroker kit, and unfortunately it looks like it is time for a strip-down and re-build. Fitting the kit meant doing a 1mm overbore, so I am wondering where the best place is to get an oversize head gasket for the engine. I know you can get custom CNC machined copper gaskets for around Ԛ£150, but I don't think I really need to go this far - unless I decide to fit a supercharger at some stage of course .....mmmm now there is an idea .....

Any other sources?

Cheers,
CGL

Would think that whoever does the machining will be able to supply a suitable gasket

No idea what the maximum normal overbore on these is, but presumably it's easy to get gaskets upto that size pretty readily?

3litres!? Blimey!

they offer multi layer jobbies so might be worth a shot

TDI stock ireland eng parts though from memory, just doubt I'd want to pay their prices though

my boss's old engine is bored i dunno what too but he just used a normal head gasket n the overlap didnt matter he said. i thaught this was odd but he did his apprenticeship at BMW in germany and has run his own BMW specialist for like 10 years or sumthin so i dont argue when it comes to bimmers
