head gasket query
Had a nice day at Kelmarsh today but because I found oil in the coolant I came in the Stag instead. When I got home I removed the cylinder head. Strange though, at first glance I can't see an obvious fail in the old gasket (i'll have a thorough check tomorrow) . Any ideas why not? I'm planning an unleaded head anyway so the work isn't wasted.

Re: head gasket query
What was the condition of the head gasket in the area of the oil transfer passage at the front N/S of the head/block?

Re: head gasket query
pretty much OK I think Phil, no obvious breaches. I did notice head released easier towards the front than back.
