[Fot] Cometic TR6 Head Gaskets?

[Robert Lang]

Hey,
I'm running about 12:1. Not sure the exact C/R - I'll check the CCs when I have the head off this time.
I've been running Payen early TR6 gaskets. At least I'm pretty sure they've all been Payen. The first one lasted for 7 or 8 autocross seasons (15 or so events a year) plus a coupe of hillclimbs.
As for the air fuel mixture, it's in the rich side of things, but not pig rich. Plug cuts are tan.
I re-torqued after the initial run-in. All surfaces were clean.
I'll try Cometic this week. Else, I might think about copper.
Thanks for the feedback.
Film at 11.
l8r,Bob Lang

 What compression ratio are you guys running?  I haven't blown a head gasket in quite a while.
