Hi mh007.. Thanks for the advice.. my liner height is nil ..they are perfectly level with the block .. so having read various links here I'm advised to use the Elastomer gasket. I also discussed it with the guy Dmgrs spares and have bought the full kit with this gasket.
I heard today the the head is ready and took an 18 thou Skim. Pressure testing all ok, so will also get the 20 thou Stainless shim to protect the head loss of annealing. Fingers crossed it should have a fighting chance of doing another 56k miles..
