#1: GTI 180 aftermarket headgaskets. Author: shaunbrook7104, Location: ShropshirePosted: Sat Mar 28, 2015 6:52 am ---- So was thinking of head gaskets if I was to place high compression pistons in the EWJ104S lump.
I then thought of upgrading the head gasket but I cannot find any for the GTI 180?
Is there a reason for this? I got a quote from Peugeot Wrexham of £37.50 for the gasket and then £3.30 per head bolt.
Any one know where to get a WRC spec gasket or similar quality like in the 106's and 306's????
Just a curiosity that's all as to why they don't make a better head gasket for the EWJ104S??
Cheers =]

Anything that brings the head and valves closer to the pistons needs to make sure the valve to piston clearance is safe. You can't just Shove a thinner gasket on.

I was asking if there was an upgrade as I haven't seen them for the GTI 180 but have for many other model Peugeots.
It's just for curiosity purposes as I'm sure many others might think is there a better gasket I can place on other than the OEM to increase longevity of the car?
And actually how good is the OEM gasket with High Comp Wossners?

I think the gasket it multilayer steel so there is no need for anything better

That's the answer I was looking for. If the standard one is more than up to the job then I sh'ant bother with anything else.
Hopefully it's up to forged Pistons in the future

Forged pistons hmm nice .
I read recently about a ew10j4s only ported & polished and standalone ecu making 239 bhp !
Anyone know if it had high comp pistons ?
Never seen itbs on 180 ???? ( off topic)
