Gurney Weslake head gaskets

[Scott t]

You all have been very helpful for locating cooper also known as Wills rings and we are having them made/produced in the UK. Anyone have a tip whom may have all the appropriate head gaskets for the Gurney Weslake heads. I believe a number of those heads run in Europe, so there has to be a ready supplier. I am here in the USA with car 1098, boss 302 4 bolt mail block.

i believe you mentioned in the past it was a Mathwall engine.
give them a try as they still repair and supply engines for racing.

Have you tried [email protected]

Weslake itself is sold to Ric Wood Motorsport Home - Ric Wood but I am not sure he has the V8 stuff in the package but might be worth a call.

Scott,

I’m in need of some Cooper rings for 4 of my engines. Do you have a supplier for these rings or do you have any extra you wish to sell? Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards,

I don't know what sizes they have, but a quick web search shows it looks like Wills Rings are still being made.

They don’t have a contact phone number so I sent them my info through their contact email but haven’t heard back from them

Update on Wills rings from Trelleborg. They would cost over $200 per ring as I’ve been quoted. The search continues.

Sounds like Porsche pricing…

 

[JCebe]

I wouldn’t pay $200 for a whole Porsche but that’s just my opinion. To each their own

I have some Gurney Weslake head gaskets.......maybe you could produce some more sets from these.

If the Gurney Weslake heads go on Ford blocks, would a standard head gasket for a Ford block fit?

Those look like manifold gaskets. Like Ben said, I would think that normal SBF head gaskets should work but haven’t seen the underside of the heads in person.
