I hope that you have a copy of the factory work shop manual (or Bentley)
If you pull the head you need to hold down the liners if you even think of
turning the crank.
The factory used lead wire under the head nuts to help seal them. If the
head gasket sticks out into the combustion area it will fail in a few laps.
GM makes the only sealer that I will use.

Subject: [Fot] TR4 head gasket leak today at PIR
. Didn't
overheat it but squirted water out the overflow tank. I did not build the
engine and this is my first triumph. I had some off line discussions with
a
few FOT folks trying to sort this out. Like I said I thought I had it
fixed.
I understand there are a few tricks to assembling the head gasket. It is
leaking to the outside in the right front of the head.
Looking for some
tips on replacing the head gasket.
thanks!!!!!
Mike Mehl
