Default MLS headgasket availability?
I just lost the headgasket in my '86 745, need to order a replacement and wondering what the latest status is on getting MLS gaskets in the US. Last I heard, Volvo had switched back to supplying fiber gaskets and was no longer a source for metal ones. I see on RockAuto they list a metal gasket, available with 1, 2, or 3 holes for a very reasonable price, and the application lists for those gaskets are correct, but the picture for the MLS appears to be for a European V6 TDI. Brand is listed as PAYEN. Has anyone tried ordering one of these or know about this brand? For $50 I am tempted to try one and see what shows up.

Thanks.

George
