    <p>It is a 1980 Spitfire. Engine prefix is  FM.  It has not been
      decked so the recess is still there.</p>
    <p>When I redo it I will either use a  Payen or a FelPro which are

      <p>Plus that's the cheap vicky brit style. you need a black

            Looks like termites! <br>

            What brand of gasket is it?  I've never seen that before -
