That's the question... because all parts for my 2,2 rebuilds (once in my 2,2 Tagora, three times in my old silver 2,2 Murena and now second time for my red 2,2 S) I bought from Milan Dobes here in CZ, but think that it's Elring, surely not Ajusa (from Spain). Price as I remember was arround 60,- Eur. On my Tagora, I did more than 350.000 kms after renovation, both my Murenas were used for racing on circuit and I never had problems with this gaskets not even when I overheated it (on my silver 2,2 - once due to bad cooler what caused breaking of cyl.head and second time when that welded head broke again - stupid me, because using the welded head is just for selling the car, not for longer use - it broke down right at the point of welding
). Even my last problem on 2,2 S caused overheating the engine, but head did resists also as the turbo gasket
Milan Dobes allways says that I am a test driver for quality of his repairs and when I need the cyl.head gasket, he automaticaly takes the Turbo gasket
For refresh - I bought my Murena 5 years ago with completely damaged engine, one piston missing (broken to small pieces), big hole in cylinder, damaged head and crankshaft too. We rebuilded the engine, but I haven't checked the ballancing of flywheel. After some kms, the oil started to leak between engine and gearbox, cca 1 liter per 5000kms. I used the car and though that some day, I have to make new sealing of crankcase. One hot day at circuit I forgot to fill up the oil and also (because of a hard race with new Subaru Impreza hatchback) I "forgot" to gear up and saw my rewmeter in 7000 rpm sometimes. Three laps the Subaru wasn't able to overtake me, in corners I was better (but true is, that I have polyurethan bushes on both antiroll bars, Spax suspension, 205/50R15 and 215/45R15 Toyo TR1, lightened engine cover and better set up on front axle), on straight parts he was faster of course... than I heard that fu**ing knocking
At first, I though that only one small-end bearing was wrong, and after demounting the engine, it really was, but also my last main bearing was damaged very very hardly - it was not only from last time, it was the result of unbalanced flywheel and also that was the way where the oil went off. Is known that 5 grams of unbalancing is a problem - I had 16 grams on flywheel, 8 grams on one side of the crankshaft and 7 grams on the other side... I though that from factory it must be balanced, but probably the previous owner used the flywheel from other engine. After balancing it, there was cca 0,15 grams on flywheel, 0,17 g on one side and 0,18 grams on other side of the crankshaft. Now I have driven cca 900 kms and I have to say, that engine runs much more smoothly and more willingly follows the throttle pedal, I'm not going over 4000 rpm, but when I press the pedal a little, it goes really very quicky up and after gearing up, there is no delay, it's just accelerating more and more, I couldn't image what will happend when I will go over 4000 rpm where this engine starts showing its power
now I'm very very satisfied and it's surprising because before the car wasn't slowly.
