ive got to disagree with you there chop,the cost of removing head to do the gasket only to find its a group a one anyway would piss me off

whats the worst that could happen? on top of doing it now really a skim and poss pressure test

i know its worth doing but imo i wouldnt bother unless it went

now on my third cosworth,theyve all being given death and never had one let go yet
