    My mechanic is having some head gaskets custom made. If enough people are interested he might make some more. These will work properly like the original unobtainable ones. The current "F40" head gaskets dont really seal very well. I have them on mine and they are garbage

    Good luck. Lots of companies make custom gaskets. The F40 presents some unique challenges.
