Or indeed you can fit a better steel one for £60 odd.

It all depends what you want from your car fella, If you want a standard car then go for Andy's standard gasket at a very good price, Or if you want to mod it in the future then while it's apart fit a steel multi layer gasket for piece of mind ;-) .

This problem was caused by the head studs not being torqued to the right settings, And nothing to do with the gasket as far as I'm aware :roll: :roll: .
So stop scar mongering you silly old fool ;-) .

perhaps the gaskets were going because the head wasn't flat enough or the surface finish wasn't good enough, maybe it wasn't torqued down properly, was anything put onto the gasket(sealer??), were the surfaces clean enough?
there's many reasons for a gasket to fail, all these need to be looked at before slagging off the gasket (which is the easiest thing to do)

i rang up a few mods people and they said, that i shouldnt buy a car which has a head gasket problem because it is probably leading to more problems to the engine!
