What is the difference in the genuine TD42 head gasket pre/post 1995?
All my research indicates that the heads themselves are the same (excluding the pre-combustion chamber), therefore what is the difference in the gasket? There is a $60-$100 price difference.
Some retails have the pre 95 gasket (1104406J02) showing for all Y60, and post 95 gasket (1104405D02W) for the Y61.
There are a number of recommendations to use the genuine turbo head gasket on a TD42 that has been upgraded with a turbo, however no clear indication if the post '95 gasket is the 'turbo' gasket?
Background - It appears I've done the head gasket in a '93 TD42 'silver top'; running a DTS turbo @ 14psi since 2008.
