Title: 2.2 Head Gasket Material Type
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 07 August 2023, 00:29:06

Sorry to sound dim, but I’m getting old and it’s been over a decade since I did any meaningful work on a 4 banger Omega … can someone please tell me if the 2.2 petrol uses a composite, or a multi-layer steel head gasket?

Many thanks in advance :y :y

I would say it's a composite fibre gasket. It might be that later revisions, post Omega, of the 16v engine used a steel multilayer gasket.

EPC suggests that the original gaskets were GM part 9118313 and this is superseded by 93188114. Both of these gaskets seem to be fibre.

This would be my choice.

That's a Payen DP820 kit. Has a nice cork cam cover gasket. For a 2.0l in a Carlton, probably 8v.

JamesV6CDX asked about a 2.2 which is a 16v and much newer. The Payen head gasket set is DY253. Or try a Victor Reinz 02-33005-05 head gasket set (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204390277779?epid=249723594&hash=item2f969c2293:g:s6IAAOSwLShhQ9pC&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4N2DCSTvTvepGM6Bc%2FhaDaE4yDna%2Bl0wg6Uk69FG9n%2B3M341%2Bk%2F%2FX1v3ElhTiZuJBGRMCbCqOYZfqKlA4KtbFmqDja0ugc7AMfj7WpCVXXBHqZNOSTocuJWKIIw8zcqx4CRmuucLe%2F3lOoGaXZfZnsuJ7MdYdyy8C4X6VJA6Rn5Azwzh5BhdL644kDzkeRyXaf3SPBr7%2B3dWSko6hgZF4kTXmp9zCpUhp8COhbQtz6oTZJbWMvGPo0buEreXEzil2aByJlz3mP3QXpCDq8DCeg%2BoWFauLpqfQeQsXri45aWq%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-aWkM26Yg).
