Head gasket issues

[thesmokingturd]

My head gasket is leaking oil out the front of the head. I went to the Volvo dealership and they said $277 and it might get there in 8-12 weeks maybe. So that wasnt very re assuring so I went to the vw dealership and they took some time to find the motor and it was only $127 so I was going to pay for it and he tells me its been discontinued. Where can I order a good quality mls 3 notch gasket?

Through Tasca, there is a link in the parts suppliers section, you will need to imput the part number which can be found on the forum, they are floating around in a sticky I think. The gasket wont come up in a search which is why you need to just imput the part number.

The Elring gasket is a good quality gasket, but its fiber not the MLS. If you use it with studs it will hold quite a bit of power. If its just a stocker it would still be fine but use new bolts.
