Head gasket - 1 or 2 peice? Wiseco 1170cc

#1 PostAuthor: martinz1000r » Sat Mar 09, 2013 4:20 pm

About to fit the head to the Unitrak engine for the Moto Martin. It's got 1170 Wiseco kit. Kit comes with 2 peice gasket as per standard but I also have a spare single peice gasket. I do have a new ring if I go down the 2 peice route but which is better or does it make cock all difference?

martin,had a wisco 1170 fitted to my uni a few yrs ago.was also fitted wih a 80bhp nitrous kit.
the only head gasket that held it together was a single piece "cometic"
no idea who does these now or whether they are still avaliable,but would highly
recommend if you could find one.
