So far we have 78.5 or 78.6 for 250's, any 350 owners got a measurement?

Ok so now we have sizes I'll ask the guys to open up a set and check then if there is a difference we'll contact the supplier. There maybe a spare barrel up at Kettering for them to try one on.

Re: G2CSR cylinder head gasket not fitting
just to add, i've recently ruined a new composite head gasket purchased from club spares trying to fit it over the spigot of my 350.

Re: G2CSR cylinder head gasket not fitting
Right then guys we have had the manufacturer in today and he was shown the issue. I believe he went away with promises to review and alter the set up. How many we will receive etc I'm not aware as I wasn't in attendance in person. I'll report back again as soon as I have more news.

Thanks for that. Would be nice if they would be willing to replace the damaged ones if it turned out their tooling was wrong.

That is what I have asked for. I also invited them to view the forum thread.frogeye1000 wrote:Thanks for that. Would be nice if they would be willing to replace the damaged ones if it turned out their tooling was wrong.

Re: G2CSR cylinder head gasket not fitting
I have found 4x gaskets in my spares collection. Of these, the composite gasket with a bore of 78.6mm is the best fit. The ones with 78.5mm are "slightly snug" on my spare barrel.

I've passed the preferred ID size onto the MD of the company.
