I hope that you have a copy of the factory work shop manual (or  Bentley)
 
If you pull the head you need to hold down the liners if you even think of  
turning the crank.
 
The factory used lead wire under the head nuts to help seal them.  If  the 
head gasket sticks out into the combustion area it will fail in a few  laps. 
 GM makes the only sealer that I will use.

Subject: [Fot] TR4 head gasket leak  today at PIR
.  Didn't
overheat it but squirted water out the  overflow tank.   I did not build the
engine and this is my first  triumph.  I had some off line discussions with 
a
few FOT folks trying  to sort this out.  Like I said I thought I had it 
fixed. 
I understand  there are a few tricks to assembling the head gasket.  It is
leaking  to the outside in the right front of the head.  

Looking for  some
tips on replacing the head gasket. 

thanks!!!!!
