What do you recommend as a sealant for the head gasket. I had one
supposedly knowledgeable Brit car mechanic tell me to soak the gasket
in water overnight. I'm a bit reluctant to try that.
Sealants ? What? Where? how much?
I'm using the copper faced gasket that MOSS sells on a 4A with 87 mm
liners.
Many thanks
