Hi all,
I took my engine out to due to (minor) oil leakage between the head and the cylinders and to take a general check on wear and tear of cylinders, valves etc.
I sourced a new engine gasket set on ebay which I believed was a genuine set, but it isn't and maybe there are no genuine sets available anymore.
Both the engine block, cylinders and the head have a machined groove like grooves for an o-ring, but the new gaskets or the set doesn't contain anything to suit these grooves.
The old head gaskets also have some kind of extra "edge" to fit the grooves - see photo.
Can anybody tell me if I need to find another design cylinder and head gaskets making sure of as tight engine as possible ?
Or maybe I´m only missing the long "o-rings" to suit the machined grooves?
