Is it the same as a 924 headgasket set? I'm asking because most places have the cheap quality set for the 924 and the better Reinz (oem) quality set for the turbo.

head gasket should be the exact same right? what about all the other gaskets, like the exhaust and intake manifold/ not sure what the various other gaskets are for. I think it would miss the fuel injector seals.

but is the headgasket useable on the 924 and also most of the other gaskets/ seals?

here is a pic

thanks.

Hey

I am not sure that the headgasket from a 931 would fit your 78, but it would be easier if you would stick with a headgasket that was made for a pre 1980 non-turbo 924.

You can see by comparing pics of both headgaskets that they are different

I was under the impression that it was thinner and had been used by some guys on this board to get slightly higher compression in their 924NA? So shouldn't it still fit ok?
