Hi Everybody,
Two questions and then the background.
Can an A10 copper cylinder head gasket be used on the A7.
Does the gasket need a sealant.
After the engine rebuild and the faf of setting the carb etc it ran a treat and started on the first or second kick. First trip out and two miles down the road it spat its composite cylinder head gasket out of the right hand cylinder. The only reason for using a composite was that my new copper gasket was for an A10 and the bore holes just looked too large. Composite was the only thing available with the correct bore size.
The head and block surfaces were faced at the local reconditioners and the bolts were all torqued down.
Anyway, no damage done, just a bit of spannering. Copper from now on, hence my initial questions
Regards to all.
