Head gaskets

[Tonys]

Do a williams and a 2.0l megane use the same head gaskets? Been told they do, but was told by Nick Hill i need a williams one.

Anyone shed some light?

Id listen to nick !! He seems to know pretty much everything about clios m8 !

 

[Clio16vPaul]

probably the same lookin, but the williams one is more likely to be multi layer or stronger or whatever to cope with the extra pressure... havent got a clue what im on about really with the willy engine but i know with ford engines loads of the gaskets are the same but the different powers require different gaskets..

listen to nick hill.

 

[Tonys]

Nick didnt say they were the same, i didnt ask. He just said i need a williams one, and ive later heard that its the same as a 2.0l megane.

Dont wanna get the megane one fitted then it blow!

iirc the heads are different between the willy n megan coupe!!

 

[Tonys]

Come on people, someone must know if there the same or not.

although the clio and the megane engine are near enough the same there are still differences so get a clio gasket to be on the safe side.

Nick Hill as in...Hill Power ?

And No, the Megane HeadGasket is not for use with the Williams. (found out after alot of research).

Funkmaster, cheers mate. And yeah as in hillpower.

Smokey i know the heads are different but i am not asking that am i mate? I am using a megane bottom end and a 16v head and now a williams gasket. So not quite as simple as your answer.

Cheers

how come your using a megane block and a 16v head.there both 16v f engines(i am assuming the bottem end is a 2l)so what will you gain?

 

[Tonys]

About 30 bhp apparently! F7R megane and 16v F7P

torque

 

[Paul16V]

is the 16v head gasket the same as a williams

 

[Tonys]

I dont think so, again not 100% sure. Think the megane one is closer to the williams than a 16v.

Just spoke to the good pople at bb and they said that williams and megane head gaskets are only slightly different if at all and wouldnt be a prob fitting them to the other engine.
