3T-GTE MLS Headgasket!

[setsuna]

well, ive half built my 3T-GTE, just waiting on the headgasket.
the original plan for this engine was a MLS gasket, so I have not o-ringed the head/block.
but now the problem is FINDING a gasket. ( I was sure I saw a 2TG MLS Version, but no.. )

I have contacted stewart wilkins motorsport, and ridgecrest.
and have looked in the cometic catalog and found C4108-051 (2TG 87mm CFM-20 / .051),
but this is a felt material, and cometic does not make in a metal version.

I have emailed them to see about a custom creation~

has anyone else had experience finding a MLS gasket for this engine?!
any ideas/leads? anything!

help mucho appreciated~

Paradise Racing list 1 2 and 3mm cometic metal gaskets for the 2T/3T-C engines. I assume you could use one of these and goop up the timing cover where there is no gasket.

ahh, yer.
paradise racing have been extremely hard to contact in the past. (after making an order and payment)
so I certainly would think twice about ordering from them again.

I had the 3TC MLS gasket ordered by mistake from cometic.. so there are local options for this idea.

ill keep that in mind, but really would like to have it constructed propperly, as the whole rest of the engine has been done made well.
