Hi & help - Ephrem - 10-07-2014
[attachment=17513][attachment=17513]I have a 206 Silhouette Race car with two tuned all steel 306 XSi 8valve engines ... both currently in bits. A local (N Ire) engine builder is currently converting one to injection with throttle bodies (Jenvey 45s) and a lower lift cam (Piper BP300) to make it more user-friendly for hillclimbs. He needs a thicker than usual head gasket (2mm) to keep compression around 12:1 and I've been quoted ~£150 all in vat & postage for a custom made Cometic. Is there anything of similar quality available locally (UK/Europe) folks?
Will try to post a pic of the disassembled head.

Hmm, not sure that worked. Maybe it's because I'm on a tablet

Welcome to the forum mate, car sounds like it could be an interesting build thread
I know cully used a thicker than normal MLS repair gasket on his engine build but that was for a gti engine and I'm not sure exactly how thick it was so not much help lol
Gonna take a guess and say you've asked a Peugeot dealer ?

Thanks everyone. Ask a Peugeot dealer...hmm, so obvious I never thought of it! Tho any other time I've gone to them, they've been powerless without a part number.
I'll move thread to 'XU engines' and try to leave link back to 'newbies'

Nice work... Err although I though only mods could move threads ha. I better go check permissions!

More of a 'Let's start again' under XU Petrol engines, than an actual move of the thread. Hope I haven't broken a rule on my first day!

Na no rules broken if the forum lets you do it its my fault not yours
Welcome again and enjoy 306oc

As the engine's apart I'd machine the internals to get the right compression, Mind if using injection even race spec cam's are fine and provide a good band of power
