[Healeys] 100-4 engine head gasket?

[David Porter]

No, in addition to the head gasket. I used a tiny drop of super glue to locate them when assembling. On the deck side.

On the copper gaskets I've seen--not terribly many--the rings are integral to the gasket; are we saying they can be swapped?

Hi David - 


This is very interesting.  Let me see what it looks like when I get the head off, and I might ask for your guy's contacts if that's what I determine is the problem.


Best,


Alan

I solved this by having a gasket maker in Lubbock make individual 0.0025 rings to provide a little more squish around each bore.  Dave

If you are going to use a steel or MLS gasket you are going to have to resurface the block and head. They need a finer finish than copper.
