MLS gaskets are way too fussy for the so so build specification of the K series.

Use the Payen BW750 gasket, to guarantee a good seal, regardless of liner height.

Alternatively use the gasket supplied by DMGRS, which has been designed as improved version of the original gasket.

I agree. Super difficult to get a Payen BW750 gaskets these days, so the DMGRS alternative may be the best route presently.

Noted this is an old post. I am curious though. Was this mainly in the earlier Freelander 1 series or cover all 1.8 rover engines.
I ask as I have a 2005 with 98,000 on the clock and still no HGF. I had thought about just putting it in to my local specialist garage and having a Victor Raynes gasket set popped in just as a precaution.
What do you guys think.
Is the 1.8 three door worth putting the money into these days.
I seem to come across many for sale with rather low miles on the clock.
Will they ever be a sought after model??

Late here, but head gasket never pops. I will give signs... so I would address that ONLY if you have a hint that's one foot in the grave.
Same with my case, did not want to touch it until I saw some oil in coolant.
