Hey there Spi people,

 

I just pulled and reinstalled my head after a head gasket failure.  Foolishly on my part I removed the TBI top and bottom part (I didn't need to - the whole unit just lifts out once the manifold nuts are removed and all wires are disconnected and the water hoses are removed (I don't like the 2 at the bottom, but I guess no one does)

 

anyhow (pic below) I dameged the very thin and very fragile at each end black gasket, I tacked the crack with permatex but don't like doing this kind of fix as it creates a point of weakness (and can cause trouble later down the line)

 

but where do you get this gasket - couldn't see it on minispares and couldn't find any on ebay either.

cheers if you know where to get one

You may well have to make your own from gasket paper.

Cheers - 'no longer available'

I guess I'm good for now, and I could make my next one with a piece of gasket paper, so I think I'll go down that line and learn my lesson: don't take if off if you don't need to!
