anyone know if you get EVERY top end gasket in the kit
im after the tb mount gasket, and the TB gasket, be easer to buy the kit
You wont get a TB gasket etc i'd have thought.
Headgasket,inlet,exhaust,steam seals etc.
Anything you'd have to remove to take the head off.

yeah which is ALL the inlet lol everything bolts to the side of it, which you have to remove
Cant see it tbh.
You dont need to remove the throttle body to swap the head do you??

yes, as there a small hole in the inlet which runs thru the mount, which bolts onto the TB and theres all gaskets on there lol
its like a little maze lol

just slightly on-topic. Ive been trying to get an inlet gasket for the upper inlet join (mines a Mantzel) & GM want ?31 for a paper gasket. I enquired at a local factors & they cant do them. Only option was for a full headset apparently.

Cut your own from gasket paper. Available from factors as you no doubt know.
I will be.
Get on Ebay and search for Gaskets For Classics shop.
They sold me all my gaskets for my 1400, patern parts, but as good as GM imo.
Email them with the gasket type you need.

i dont really know what the gaskets called,
iv got 3 gaskets that are in inlet gaskets, there just called inlet gasket but there totaly differeant ones lol
i can not say oh i want an inlet gasket lol
I just told them i wanted a throttle body to inlet gasket.
And then replied with pics of the gaskets they do.
So i picked the correct one.
