   Ive got a c2 head that i want to put it on vts bottom end. the head has been modified to fit the saxo inlet and the springs have been changed. can you use the saxo head gasket or do you need the c2 gasket? I have put the c2 head on and no oil seems to be coming up to the head.

    i was gonna say the head gasket is on teh wrong way lol, these heads are fine, id use the c2 gasket otherwise comrpession will be lower (unless going turbo route) steve's problem was the cams he used not the actual conversion. And for the record he never had an issue once the cams were swapped and i did the head
