[TR] Spitfire head gasket

[Paul Tegler]

what year spit (engine prefix) is this? is that a recessed bore gasket 
on a non recessed block?

it looks like the ring has been pulled from the gasket...which would 
happen using a recessed bor gasket

in a non recessed block...it would squeeze and pull the ring off.

Plus that's the cheap vicky brit style. you need a black composite Payen 
gasket and makes sure it's the right version for the year/style of block
