Bluemoon Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm in the market for a new cylinder head, has anyone tried the new style cylinder heads from Paddocks with their new style head gasket. I'm spending over 400quid with added water pump etc. just don't want to have to redo every thing in 6months, cheers for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 For what engine? Personally, i'd go somewhere reputable like Turners for parts like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb78 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 How much are the heads at Paddocks? Turners have them around £300 http://turner-engineering.co.uk/html/cylinderheads.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsu0san Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Be wary with the new metal style head gaskets too. I would advise a normal fibre one on an older engine like a 300Tdi. I tried a metal one and it failed almost straight away but the fibre one is still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
