what head gasket (1700 crossflow)


Recommended Posts

Leakdown on the caterham 1700 last night revealed leakage from #2 cylinder through #3. Appears to be head gasket time.

 

What is the best head gasket for a road 1700?

 

Thanks, Dave

Depends on compression ratio...

 

If you're running a high compression, spend the money and get a high quality gasket, but I'd stay away from MLS if you just have a street motor.

 

Most Formula ford guys seem to run Fel-Pro without any issue, but they have a compression ratio of 10:1. Since I'm running 10.7:1, I spent a bit more money and I've been pleased with my Ajusa head gasket from Burton Power.
