Hi Colin,
Thanks for the info on the head gasket.
Upon close inspection, I found that there was an exhaust leak from the #4 cylinder out the side away from the pushrods and exiting up the back corner stud!! There was also coolant leakage through at least 5 of the coolant passages. This prompted some pitting on the cyl head so I had it resurfaced. The block seems to be OK in that respect. The threads had also lifted a bit on the block where the studs fit because they were quite tight and the threaded holes not chamfered.
The gasket has a slick feel to it. Found that interesting.
I'll see what comes in the Payen set when it arrives here tomorrow.
Thanks for the offer of sending one up here.
Regards, Paul A
