You need an AU MLS head gaset afaik some of the series ones copped non metal gaskets.

Were they certain models?

i know it was the early 1998 series 1s it was in dunno if it was certain models tho

As for where to get the metal gasket from... any automotive store really, or through Ford if you're rich

Yes Series 2 & 3 are metal.

And yes it's compatible with your EL motor.

Isn't recommended retail on a ford AU gasket like 80 bucks? That's not that much...I get them for <$40 anyway

Yeah about $85 from the Ford on Highbury rd, Burwood
