[Healeys] OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!

[Greg Lemon]

When I rebuilt my 100 motor last summer both the block and head were planed 
smooth by the machine shop.  I re-used the studs and bolts, I did add 
Permatex copper head gasket sealant, as I did when I pulled the head a few 
years back just the check things out.  No head gasket problems either time, 
although I did get a little weeping out the side after I removed it the 
first time years ago.

No internal leaks either time.  Even with the higher compression to M spec 
after the rebuild.  Don't know if the copper spray helps, or I was just 
lucky.

Seems like I read of an Australian source for the steal gaskets for a lot 
less ($100 or maybe it was $200, but definitely much less than $350) 
Patrick Q do you have any information on the Aussie head gaskets???
