Been having some engine problams with my 91 rover mini 1275. got a camera down the spark plug hole and there was some fluid on the pistons, so need to replace it. Seems to be a lot of gaskets out there. Was told its always best to use original gasket. Guessing its probably not in production anymore. So my question is, what head gasket do you recommend that i use.

Remember to order oil and coolant.

Also your head may need to be skimmed and your bore will need cleaned out..

Always something with a mini.....
