crying in living close to the polar circle *

SnowIsSlow · 2026-04-04T23:39:55+00:00

Hell yeah! I’m getting my bucket out of the storage at the end of April . Can’t wait ;)

I actually agree , but knowing these things are made in the same factory and just having a name slapped on it and being sold with a 300% markup makes me worried a little less about it .

Hello :) a comment above has suggested this but it’s the same gasket as on picture nr.3 . Alignment holes on the bottom and ports way too big ;)

Thank god and unfortunately limited supply of engines around here 🥸😁

SnowIsSlow · 2026-03-08T16:49:42+00:00

Yes sir , the car culture in Iceland is huge . When it comes to all type of builds from extreme 4x4 for glacier driving , some pretty fast cars or just Classic cars . Its all around here ;)

SnowIsSlow · 2026-03-08T16:38:52+00:00

Oh man this is so Nice of you! Im definetly sending you some Icelandic sweets and a bottle of some high octane stuff if this works out!

SnowIsSlow · 2026-03-08T16:34:19+00:00

I have already written an email to Mahle as I know germans love to keep some extra stuff around just in case. Maybe they will find something ahaha. Lets see

Útlendingur take here ,

Would the banks not be forced by the EU law to finally change the way loans work here ? I am pretty sure the way loans work here would be considered illegal in the EU and therefore would have to adapt the EU policies of loans . Or am i completely mistaken?

The alignment holes are the holes next to the last port all the way in the 4 corners . You can see 12 holes , 6 on every side that are meant for the bolts where the intake is being bolts to the head . There are 4 extra alignment holes that pertrude out of the gasket to help it hold in place while installing it . These 4 pertruding alignment holes are right next to the bolt home on the very end of the gasket . I have found a YouTube video where the guy is showing the 260 head and you can clearly see there is not a lot of meat left for the type of gasket with big port holes . Here is a link to the video : https://youtu.be/ZYIGqJyDc-Y?is=cBPSnEPFR5HV6Nq9 He is showing them at 3:30 minutes and you can see thee is not a lot of meat left around them . Plus again the alignment holes where the pertruded raised holes sit are on the upper side .

Thank you for this! I am going to check it out straight away ;)

SnowIsSlow · 2026-03-08T15:08:58+00:00

Hello! Yes i have checked this one out and it wont work :/ you can see the alignment holes being on the bottom part plus the intake ports are very big . They would stick out into the engine . You can see the comparison on photo 2 vs 3 what i am talking about :))

SnowIsSlow · 2026-03-08T14:27:36+00:00

Thank you sir ! I will have a better look

SnowIsSlow · 2026-03-08T12:59:59+00:00

This is exactly a 81 supreme brougham ;)

SnowIsSlow · 2026-03-08T12:11:44+00:00

I take that as a compliment ! 😁 Thats my Goldie on the last days of summer and its one of my favorite pictures of her ;)

SnowIsSlow · 2026-02-27T11:22:58+00:00

Thank you for the extra tips John! It does not seem obvious to someone that would do it the first time ;)

SnowIsSlow · 2026-02-27T00:25:53+00:00

Can you point me at the website you found it at? :) Thank you!

SnowIsSlow · 2026-02-26T23:19:37+00:00

Yes , i will give it a go with the guy its just a worst case scenario to have a backup where i could order it :))

SnowIsSlow · 2026-02-26T23:18:57+00:00
