After having trouble with head gaskets in the past and because I am running
a slightly elevated compression ratio I researched the modern or composite
head gaskets available for the 3000. They seem to be the solution but the
cost ( AUS$200 from a local healey specialist in Australia and AUS$320 plus
freight from England) is prohibitive. A long with a couple of club members
we are looking at having tooling made to manufacture these gaskets by ACL in
Brisbane and we can get their "race series" gaskets made for AUS$100(US$75)
each, a considerable saving. The question, would we be able to move enough
of these gaskets to cover the tooling costs. We don't want to make money but
don't want to loose it either. Does "The List" think there would be enough
interest for us to go ahead?
