Hi Yozzer,

Excellent café racer resto,

I have just stripped an F2 for the first time, the engine has the exact same indentation!
I have worked on dozens of 750k and F1 engines, never seen it before...

Its where the top of the cushion is not held tight at the head gasket so it can float up and down a fraction meaning the steel pin wears the flat surface. Not a huge problem unless the indentation is deep, which i have seen. Check the top ears for wear as I have seen one where they broke off
