Post subject: | TR7 head gasket recommendations |
Despite my car playing games with me and the HG weep having stopped, I want to pull the head and replace the gasket. Last thing I want is it to let go on the RBRR, probably at JOG..... So, any pointers on who makes/sells the best available gasket? Payen seems unavailable from the normal retailers. Which is rather annoying. (and I have sussed it is different to the 1850 gasket, and strictly speaking this is a Dolly forum, but plenty of people have tr7 engines in them) Cheers Clive |

Hi Clive , When I did my 1850 headgasket 4 years ago I just used the Rimmer's offering and its been fine. I imagine their TR7 gasket will come from the same source. PM on way btw. Tony. |

Clive, T.D. Fitchett and S&S Preparations are other specialists worth considering. |

Sorted as I bought the one listed by Alun. I am paranoid about head gaskets, had poor results with some aftermarket ones (was at a friends place yesterday, he had HGF on his GT6 after a very short time, and replaced with a payen now. The one he took off looks perfect, but leaked oil from the side of the head) But yes, Robsport have been good with other stuff. TDF I have mixed feelings about, too many failures of mechanical/recon stuff. |
