You need to check the gasket next to the first "mickey mouse" cutout for the identifing hole/holes - not a great pic but it does look like a "no hole" gasket which is the thickest you can get
what that tiny hole in the corner is oil?thought you were the expert ,stick to hoovers,thats the oil feed hole![]()
Piston protrusion is how far the pistons stick up above the top of the block. If ya gasket aint the right thicness the piston will hit summat.Now here is some serious help, for once I am not taking the p***
When I was doing my reseach to help you earlier the thing which came up all the time was dont trust that the one you are replacing was the correct one. Apparently a lot of them have the wrong one fitted, hence the need to check whatever it was I copied, which I admit I dont have a clue what it meant.
oil feed for head ,rocker shaft etc,but at running pressure more than amplewhat that tiny hole in the corner is oil?![]()
i see that now..the hole in the head is bigger...can i make the new gasket match the hole size on the headoil feed for head ,rocker shaft etc,but at running pressure more than ample
Bob - don't worry about that - concentrate on idetifying the corrrect thickness of gasket to use to replace the head - and it will all be fine mate
(just use an ELRING gasket!! They even come with bolt tightening sequence and torque figures and angles -)
no need is sometimes a usefull modifaction...no need to,and no
head gasket thickness is as said already governed by piston protrusion ,and if head has been skimmed,3 hole gasket does most people but does depend on how much was skimmed offThe engine is factory fit and this is the second time the head has been off in its life both times by me.the head has been skimmed once so as im not a racing driver a good thick gasket makes my life easy...![]()

erm it doesnt need skimming if its flat so that is why bother...![]()
It will clean the head up a treat! Head can be easily damaged if it's scored or scratched removing stubborn HG.
He's going to pressure test your head
Watch yer eyeballs don't pop out mate!!!![]()
