Hi guys,
About to put the head back on the motor and need to know what size gasket I need, I can't find and markings on the old one, and at $130odd I wanna get the right one.
Think there were 3 different ones.
Cheers.

Should be a letter marked on it. From memory I think it was an A, B, and C gasket which were different thicknesses. If you take your old gasket in they might be able to tell by the compressed thickness measurement.

Thanks mate

When I had my old 2.8 years ago I had to put a new con-rod in it and from memory the gasket had a particular notch taken out of it at the back to identify which one it was.
