<p>Jerry, interesting / excellent idea! I'll bet I'll meet up with
some of my Canadian friends in June at Mosport... Might be worth
stocking up on 3 years worth of consumables that are only
available from England...</p>

<p>Unless someone knows of a domestic source for the magical head
gasket that Racetorations carries:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.racetorations.co.uk/product/composite-cylinder-head-gasket-tr2-4a/">https://www.racetorations.co.uk/product/composite-cylinder-head-gasket-tr2-4a/</a></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Trying that instead of the Cometic this year - Cometic has round
fire rings so you need to buy oversize to clear intake valve
pocket. The Racetorations one has fire rings but has the mickey
mouse ear shape to match the head.</p>

<p>Cheers, Tony</p>
