Using the stock copper head gasket the whole time. <br>
Now AH Spares advertises a newly engineered head for those looking. <br>
Thankfully we have some choices. <br>

I bought a Denis Welsh head. It is a simple bolt on but you are going to add their studs and nuts and a steel cylinder head gasket - at least that is what I did. Go to the web site and read all that applies to cylinder heads. You can buy a bare head or one that has been prepped for street or competition. It is cheaper to buy from the UK than from the US resellers. I only have 70 miles on my BN1 but so far so good.<br>
