Since there is neither a Factory (OE) , nor OEM or aftermarket, C36-specific headgasket (fire-rings are 1mm larger), with the proper reinforcements so the head-gasket doesn't receded over time, I have contacted Cometic gasket to see if they could produce one.

If you're interested, please comment on this thread.

Thanks!

i beleive roman, (pumpish) makes headgasgets for the m104, you may what to ask him if he can make what you are after, its worth a look

I was looking into the same thing. I actually have talked to two guys on the east coast that are using the cometic gasket. They are using the gasket from the m120 engine left bank I think. Cometic does not know that they are the same gasket. You may mention this when talking to them.
I plan on doing the same in the future.

Can you get me in contact with those individuals running the Cometic gasket ?

I told them to look at the M120 they already ran, but they want me to send a C36 head and block to make sure . . .

:-) neil

I will have to look and see if I still have contact info.

I actually called the guy today. He said they used the right cylinder head gasket, but that he did have to have it modified a little at a machine shop. He said it was around 400 for the gasket and Cometic wanted 600 to custom one. He said that the dowl pins were not drilled and there was a coolant and maybe an oil port that were not in the gasket. They simply matched the stock gasket to the cometic one and drilled the necessary holes.

Yes, thats true, and i think u can use that of the 3.2 m104 i think
