Title: which head gasket is the right fit?
Post by: Artkez on October 17, 2025, 05:33:44

my engine has been swapped with a 1969 280SE engine, so it is a m130 980 engine (the whole engine number is 130 980 13 016620) and it says 280SE/A on the side if that helps

which head gasket should i purchase for a replacement? I just want to give the right parts to my mechanic to make things move smoothly

seems like there are some with a more square shape, and one with a more angled pointy shape, and some made by victor reinz, and some made by elring?
