Hello all, is that really possible that my 2.25 1975 petrol never had a head gasket? photos below, I can't see any gasket. and that's how the head came off.

I don't understand how this is even a question? How do we answer if it pops up and says "Hello, my name's Brian."?

He could just be ahead of the time with the all new head gasket delete!

Reckon you're on to something. Says here, if he removes the cylinder-head all together - less weight see... it's a 64.73% power-increase. Have we tried looking down the back of the sofa?

If he ever does find it, should leave it as a family heirloom.
