tim gray Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi guys, I now have the correct cylinder head sorted for the PU (currently fitted with civi pattern) I also have 2 x NOS gasket kits, copper/ asbestos/ copper. They are both in very good condition with no dinks buckles etc. 1) Is it wise to use them or should i bite the bullet and get one of the copied in modern materials. 2) If ok to use does anyone have any hints or tips, one chap for instance reccomended soaking in hot water prior to use. Regards Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Tim If the NOS ones are OK I suggest you use them and use a product called "Wellseal" apply the product to both sides of the gasket allow to dry (5-10 mins) and then assemble Pull head down, run till hot retorque and then retorque after 500 miles (cant remember the torque figures) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
