Hi All,
I'm fairly certain that the head gasket on
http://www.r5gordini.co.uk/mediawiki/B621_GNJ
is blown...
This car has a 1397cc (automatic!) engine fitted...
Has anyone on here managed to do a head gasket without having to rebuild the whole engine? All the head gaskets I've ever done in the past have needed renewing again after 8K miles! In the end I gave up and got the engine rebuilt.
I'm concerned about liner seals, and there's no easy way of telling if this is the root cause, or whether it's just the head gasket...
Other than this... I'd love to do something crazy and fit another completely different engine to the car as I'm not concerned about originality. Any ideas as to what might fit with not too much bother?
Andrew
