Dear All
I am new to this forum and keen to learn.
Would someone please advise the best cylinder head gasket for the 3.5 litre engine and from where they can be purchased.
Thank you in anticipation.

I always use the original thin copper type, but I see he has the composite type as well.

Dear Rob
Thank you for your reply - very much appreciated.
Q. Do you have any issues with leaking coolant from the head joint on the “carby” side with the original thin copper gasket after say 5000 miles?
This is the issue I have using the composite gasket. No problems at all between the cylinders.

I would also suggest trying Alan Gibbins in UK and Worcester Classic Spares, who may still have some in stock.
