A mate from many years ago had repeat problems with his Triumph Stag 3,5 head gaskets so he eventually Araldited them, stopped them from blowing and he did a 3k trip to the South of France without a problem.God help the poor sod who bought it from him if they ever had to do any work on the engine

why not just use araldite instead of gasket?Lots of it,do both sides of the gaskets.
should stop any future liner slippage

We once used the green type which was for the boilers at the pit. That head never budged or leaked until the day the car was scrapped. This job was done on North Yorks moors on way to Whitby for a fishing trip.A mate from many years ago had repeat problems with his Triumph Stag 3,5 head gaskets so he eventually Araldited them, stopped them from blowing and he did a 3k trip to the South of France without a problem.God help the poor sod who bought it from him if they ever had to do any work on the engine

No problem,I was having a problem sourcing a courier and the Boss wasn't happy for me to collect it, she's wrapped me in cotton wool since the strokes, probably rightly but I still feel capable.
