Got a eBay bargain, 2 x genuine head gaskets, £10 the pair

Gotta love an ebay bargain!

Both of mine were the same; having replaced the header tank and NS radiator hose, it was still using at least a litre of water every hundred miles, with no external leaks. Which meant the heads had to come off.

£10 a gasket is pretty good, but I managed to get a complete head gasket set for £12.80! I wish he'd had more than one, as I'll need another for the hot-rod engine. Although the saving on the gasket more than paid for the 3.2 manifolds, which was nice.

All back together

A little cough and a second of lifter chatter, and she purrs very nicely. New oil and coolant.

Got up to temp pretty quick too

My mucky fingerprints are just about finishing burning off!
