2. Note the gasket thickness indicator and ensure
the same thickness gasket is used on refitment
of cylinder head. (the same head, a.n)
CAUTION: If new pistons, connecting rods
or crankshaft are to be fitted, it will be
necessary to measure piston stand proud in
order to determine thickness of gasket
required – See Pistons, Connecting rods
and Cylinder Bores – Cylinder head gasket
selection.

13. There are three thicknesses of cylinder
head gasket available and in order that the
correct gasket is fitted, it is necessary to
determine the stand proud (protrusion) of
each piston above the top face of the
cylinder block. Gaskets have either 1, 2 or 3
identification holes and the following
procedures must be followed in order that
the correct gasket is selected.
