18RG Metal Head Gasket

I was after a metal head gasket in the brisbane area.
If someone knows where I could buy a gasket new that would be the best, however I would buy one privately if it hadn't been used.
Cheers,
Cal King

I'm not exactly sure what thickness I'd need.
I'm sticking a turbo on my 18rgeu, so I wanted to drop the compression ratio a wee bit and get a better than standard gasket.
How thick is yours? (No sexual reference implied)

1/8 thick, i also have the left over bits to make a turbo manifold if you need them. ( all but flange for the turbo you will have to make one to suit the turbo use).

Did you run into any problems with the timing chain using a gasket that thick?
I've already got the manifold sorted, but thanks just the same

sorry to borrow the post but how much would you be looking at for the manifold for the turbo?
and where did you source your metal headgasket?

I'm getting my manifold made at a place called exotic exhaust.
The manifold itself is going to cost $500 and its also gonna cost me $250 for a 3" dump pipe.
I know there is a mob in Melbourne called Ridgecrest that specialize in metal gaskets and forged conrods, etc. I've sent them an e-mail about a gasket for an 18rg, but I've yet to get a reply. (I only sent it on friday)
I'm not sure what the gasket will be worth though.

sorry someone has already asked for it. I will get a price on the bits to make another if you want?
