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

[krisisdog]

Yes Series 2 & 3 are metal.

[needfordspeed]

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

[G3R3N]

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