   i am running standard head bolts and headgasket with ph3 and bodies, so just get them from motor factors, could go to hi flow heads or qep or a company like that for competion head gasket and bolts, but i know a comp head gaskets are like 60-100 quid!
   
   what has been doing to to bottom end?

   well would have to make sure valve clearance are ok with that head gasket,
   
   i would tlak to gmc them self about htr spec you are going for they will tell what you want!

   Yeah, its standard but fully rebuilt, im guessing just standard bearings, but also got new oil pump and water pump waiting for it, trying to find decent spec head now to match it..
   
   ill prob give gmc a ring next week once ive got the block and head ready to match..

   comp h/gaskets -- no such thing made for a saxo --just people trying to wind up the price ----only time you could call it a gasket is for a stroker kit as its 80mm bore size --but construction is identical to std gasket anyway.
   
   see website for any thickness you like
