Hi Guys,

=20

I=E2=80=99m not a fan of composite gaskets.

=20

On my TR4 I use solid steel headgaskets from Bastuck. They last many =
years and I never had a fail.

The big advantage=E2=80=A6.the head stays true. The softer the gasket, =
the more warping of the head.

=20

Cheers

Chris

I think that's why some of us still use a sealant. With the fire ring
thickness on this gasket I can't see a downside to a coppercoat spray, or
better yet Hylomar spray. That stuff is hard to find. I'm also a big fan of
using Gasgacinch which can be applied manually.

I gave up on using these gaskets for the race engine. The eyebrow cut in
the liners and the shape of the combustion chamber on the milled head did
not leave much surface area for the fire ring to seal. I'm back to shim
steel head gaskets.

 my experience with many different head gaskets on various non TR vehicles,=
 those gaskets with the "printed" on sealant should be installed without an=
y sealer, sealer can compromise the printed seal

Hi Guys,

 =C2=A0

 =C2=A0

On my TR4 I use solid steel headgaskets from Bastuck. They last many years =
and I never had a fail.

The big advantage=E2=80=A6.the head stays true. The softer the gasket, the =
more warping of the head.

Cheers
