richardc9052 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Posted September 23, 2016 Athena engine still going strong? Quote
Whitenoize Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Has anyone had any feedback from td on this issue or better still why have they not commented on this? It's not just coincidental that loads of people have had the same issue with head gaskets supplied by them and the fact that it's not even the gasket they ordered its all a bit shady if you ask me Quote
richardc9052 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Posted September 24, 2016 All They said to me is that's the gasket they use in their own cars and customer builds. And that I should get the flatness of the head and block checked again. That's it... and the head and block were perfectly flat and where not touched again when we fit an actual Athena gasket from idworkz. Everything has been fine since. Quote

richardc9052 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Posted September 24, 2016 It was a business order. So thankfully the actual customer didn't have to worry but they lost any future orders. Sad thing was the garage owner was actually going to start stocking the bits needed, hence why he ordered 3 head gaskets to start off. Quote
Whitenoize Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Don't understand why people think td are the dogs balls I've heard nothing but bad things about them the past while and miss selling substandard parts is definitely up with the best of them Quote
TimD Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Yep spot on. A bit turbo kit should be fitted around jan/Feb then off for mapping as long as his funds are good. Should make decent power Good to hear, you've probably said, but are you using ARP bolts? Quote
richardc9052 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Posted September 25, 2016 Yeah everything on it was swapped to arp Quote
Molli Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 I ordered the Athena 1.2mm one from TD and Mike send me JE gasket. I'm pissed.. And top of it all, i had to wait 20 days for him to actually send it to Finland. Only 2 hours after Paypal dispute and he send it. Not happy. Quote
Ryan-4444 Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Just finished rebuilding my engine this morning and straight away had water in oil also was sent the useless overpriced gasket from td not happy looks like I'm gonna have to strip it down and get another gasket as well Quote
Ryan-4444 Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 So now that I will have to buy another head gasket what shall u go for? Had it bored out to 75mm td04 high flow fuel rail 450cc injectors emange blue will be looking to try and get between 250bhp and 300bhp would a oe gasket take the power or shall I go for atthena gasket?
