Head Gasket needed for my Brabus..........HELP!!!
As the subject states i need a new head gasket for my '91 Brabus G36 - does anybody have any info on where i can get one of these? The gasket that has come off of my engine is stamped up as Victor Reinz - I've been told it's not a standard Merc part does anyone know where i can get one??
I know that the gasket off a 3ltr G is no good.....
HELP !!!

Steve,
You might as well try directly the manufacturer of the gasket:

or what else is the internet for?
Good luck old boy!
unbelievable, where do you get all this info, I bet if I came round your house and opened the kitchen cupboards the labels on the tins and jars would all be facing out wouldn't they.

I could not resist replying to this post with my 1,000 post!
I wouldn't know.
I would not dare to venture into the kitchen 'cause that's the wife territory.... we have a deal, you see, she would not stick her nose under the bonnet of any of our cars as long as I keep away from the kitchen.
Happy new year to y'all
Cheers

i think this is the same brabus a pal of mine bought in germany a while back , we visited the brabus factory in it before driving it back to scotland , he then sold it to someone in englandshire , who i think had to do a head gasket , the car was a bit tired
performance wise
Thanks Graham - I've sent you a private message......
Well i've looked all about and still to no avail ......
The Reinz gasket has the number 05 RNZ 02 stamped on it but i can't find it on their site at all does anybody know if the number has changed or if there is a similar part..........
There is a big cold one waiting for the person who can help......
If you still haven.t found one . I believe theres a place in London that will make you oneas I assume you have a pattern.Though didn't I read the Brabus uses some bits from mthe 350 diesel or is this rubbish?
Clevite Parts in the States do Reinz gaskets. Have you tried Brabus US - they have a good website.

Steve,
Why don't you send them an email? If the part number has been superseded by a newer one they'll be the ones to let you know or otherwise I am sure that they can taylor-make one and that would be with the same standards as the one your car was fitted with.
Cheers
Thanks Guys,
Have contacted Brabus Germany, Victor Reinz Germany and USA, can't seem to get a message to Brabus USA - keeps bouncin back.....
Still waiting for a reply :(
Thanks for all your help so far - i really appreciate it.

Jason,
I Don't seem to be gettin any joy from Brabus or Victor Reinz - don't suppose you know where this place that i can get one made do you???
Haven't drived my G for nearly 3 weeks now, am getting bored.
try e-mailing brabus uk: info@brabus.co.uk
first send an e-mail asking for a list of brabus dealers so if you have problems later you can go give them a personal visit, then once you have that ask them about your problem.
Hope you have found one but bif not;
a plaice in Yorkshire will mmake copper ones(is this suitable for your engine?) presume they can make them very thin, anyway Johnson's Gaskets 01274 682298, no email in my list but unfortunately it is outdated, Alternately you could try Payen and see if they will do a one off, very surprized if not in their catalogue.01753 524511
