2 head gaskets in two weeks
-
@britshgigolo I had mine back within a week bud definitely worth having down it responds better on the throttle at whatever rpm where as it really felt lazy before
-
thanks for the info and yer will be getting it done as soon as the other runs fine there no point with the spare as its on max limit now so will be getting it resleaved then will send that off to as always good to keep spare on the shelf as never know
-
Well think I found the problem the piston was catching the head gasket it has been bored to its limit so should of checked really but hope now it will be all ok give the bore and head a light skim to make sure it had not warped but all seems ok so fingers crossed this time will go ok when I get time to put it back in
-
i had already done the power valve before and that had no signs of problems when i took it apart just the head gasket and its where you can see it has blown across from the cylinder to the water jacket so hopfully this time it will all be ok
-
@britshgigolo You may find a copper head gasket will be your ticket, if modifying the gasket proves too difficult.
I believe you still need sealant on copper gaskets, although don't quote me on that.
Just be wary of the powervalve is all.

was told to use this with copper gasket Permatex Copper Spray-A-Gasket Hi-Temp Sealant they said give the gasket two coats before fitting my self i dont know anybody that has used one personly so can only try
-
