ROL BB Head Gaskets - 08/17/11 04:56 AM

Are there any of the .045 BB ROL gaskets to be found anywhere?

I need to pull a head off to have it flowed and Im worried I wont find a gasket to put back on the motor.

Any leads greatly appreciated!!

I've got one....ROL HG31130HT. It even says it's 0.045 thicl. Let me know if you can't find one closer.

440 source supposedly has plenty in stock.

As sort of a last resort, I called Source. I told him what I was looking for. He says they have the ROL gaskets. But the gaskets are now white without the red embossing the ROLs have/had. I ask what is stamped on them and he says Corteco. But, supposedly the same makeup/composition. He also says they are 4.480 bore, .044 compressed, where the ROLs were 4.380 bore. .045 compressed.

But, the website shows them as being .051 thick.

So WTH??

Marvo,

I truly appreciate your response. Im gonna pull a head (452) and have it flowed. I have a set of 915s that Ive already flowed. If the 915s flow better, I'll need a set of thicker gaskets, something in the .051 range. But, the 452s are the winner, I'll give a shout about the ROL you have.

Thanks!!
