im pretty sure the head gasket is about to go. i popped to my local motor factors and the reccomended using a land rover gasket that is a 2 piece thing with a softer part going against the head that fills any gaps on the head.

also said you can cut down the head bolts once and use them again.
i didnt like the sound of it much so thought i'd check if anyone has done it before of heard of it.


any thought on if i should use the standard gasket or the land rover one.
and should i pay 40 quid for new bolts or is cutting them down ok?
