Wrightwood racing gasket st

I'm doing a top end on a '83 911sc. I've read here that Wrightwood Racing is the preferred gasket kit. I've found the kits for the 3.2's, but not the 3.0. Can someone point me to a supplier?

Try Steve at Rennsport Systems. Or Henry at Supertec. I think they both can supply you with Wrightwood kits.

Just got a set of Wrightwood racing valve cover gaskets. Should I use any sort of sealant on these? Did a search but could not find anything.

Depending on your engine, Wrightwood makes four different materials used in valve cover gaskets. That said, no sealant is necessary.
Surface the covers for your best chance at success.

Standard fiber
Coated fiber (green with a spay on coating)
Fiber gaskets with a silicone bead.
And of course, cork for the 2.0 purist.

I have the green ones with the coating. I'll clean the surfaces thoroughly but was just wondering if sealant may help...belt and suspenders...

Does Wrightwood make complete engine gasket sets for 2.2L engines? I searched but couldn't find one for a 2.2L.

All Wrightwood Racing gasket sets we sell or custom made. We tell them what you're building and they customize the kit to match your build. That means if you're building a carbureted 2.7 you won't get CIS components.
This allows you to customize things like exhaust, port size and base shims.

Henry, what valve cover gaskets do you prefer now for 3.0/3.2 engines?
