I've just come back from a terrific weekend at the Goodwood Revival in the Kirkham.
However, on Sunday morning when I started the car to drive in, it started steaming from the passenger side side pipe. I had noticed the day before that when I turned it off, there was a whisp of steam from the same pipe. The driver's side was fine.
I let it tick over for a while to warm up to see if it would stop. It didn't really get any better, but it also didn't get any worse.
A gent walked over to see what the problem was and after mulling it over between us and coming to the conclusion that it was probably a small leak at the cylinder head gasket, offered some
K-Seal to try to seal it. I poured it into the header tank and after a couple more minutes of running, the steam stopped.
I drove to the circuit and then home, about 200 miles, at the end of the day and it still seem to be okay.
The question is, should I now pull the head off to see what I can find or should I leave it now that it seems to be fixed?
If I pull the heads off, what gaskets are generally considered to be the best for the heads and rocker covers?
Thanks,
Paul
