Head gasket

Post by RandomHero » 21 Jun 2006 04:15 pm

I'm looking for a head gasket set for my B200E.

I saw one coming by on the bay, it went for about 8 pounds! I just missed the end of the auction.

Because they're quite expensive in the store i was wondering if somebody here has got or knows anything?

Theres loads on ebay uk, surely the head gasket is the same as any other redblock in 200s/700s/900s - but probably different only on the 16v?

As long as it has a B200, you can use the kit from any car. IIRC you can buy the individual parts from Volvo - do you really need a complete kit?

Before anyone asks - no I don't have any B200 head gaskets (got 2 for a B14 though).

I was wondering if the head gasket for the B19E will fit the B200?

Most of the ones on ebay are B230 gaskets. Not one specific for the B200.

Haha, now that's wierd. Both kits are listed as being for both a B21 and a B19, but those engines have a different bore. My BS detector is going off the scale. Try asking one or both what the diameter of the fire ring on the head gasket itself it.

cheers
