I would like to experiment a little with the turbopressure so it might be wise to use another head gasket than original?
Anyone know which one? Any mods needed? Other tips to make this 603 faster, the cilinderhead has to come off so easy to do some mods.

If I recall correctly, a 606 head gasket is MLS which has metal in it and can bus used on a 603 but some drilling has to be done first. I too am wanting to get a game plan ready for when I replace mine :-)

Maybe later a bigger turbo?
Because the head hasket is broken it might be wise to mount a better/different one.
Thanks for helping out a newbie.

(02-28-2011, 12:28 PM)winmutt Somewhere I saw a thread that showed where the holes had to be placed. Anyone know what I am talking about?Not need any thread when you have old and new gasket.

08-24-2011, 10:58 AM #12So then we would take a 606 gasket and drill the appropriate hole out, and then spray it with this?

He said he actually seperates the layers for the headgasket and then sprays this inbetween. I think that is a bit overkill for my needs.
Jeemu, do you also spray the mating faces of the gasket with this stuff?

At firs we sprayed only on top and bottom of gasket, but then we started to paint all layers.
Here is sprayed only top and bottom layer. It glue gasket on the block.
