So laugh if you want but I'm doing the head gasket again.
It's not that it's failed so much in that I used the wrong one when i did it last. The liners were flat with the block and you're not suppose to use the MLS gasket but the original style one...unfortunate I didn't have the right one at the time so had to make do with the MLS. I also didn't check the bolts properly and just put them back in without checking tolerances.
So this time I've ordered KAMAX bolts & the latest PAYEN gasket so I can be happy with the quality of parts.
At this rate I really will become a headgasket expert
