Have you done anything with the bores, new rings, X hatched ?

Hi trigger. No the bores were really good. But I've just took it all apart and you can see that the new gasket has not sealed around 3-2-1. Has any one else had issues with the gasket kit from DS. Any recommendations for a new head gasket?

You haven't fitted it back to front have you? (Seen it done!)

[onethumb]

Nope. On the f2 you can't. Luckily for me.

The 4 notch pins that the rubber seals go round are  they sitting lower than the gasket ?? Just a thought .

And David silvers has got 2 genuine head gaskets in stock for the F2

Hi Yozzer, I had them seated level with the top of the pins then pushed in to the hole till they bottomed out. Does that sound right? Those rubbers are not the best design I've ever seen.

Thanks dude just read it. I'll be doing some checking tomorrow.
Has anyone else left the 8 rubber seals/washers out.

If you're talking about the little rubber sleeves that fit round the dowels, F2 engines should only use 4, seems like your gasket kit was generic aftermarket, as F1's and K7's use all 8.

Yep hairygit I did use 8. So it's just the 4 that go on the pins that I need then? When I stripped it the other build had used 8. Reading the link that Yozzer pinned I'm thinking of ditching all 4/8.
Any thoughts. .?
