I assume it would be a standard small bore head gasket? to be fair, i used minispeed once and he did seem abit......distant! lol.

Turbophil had a butt plug made that seemed to be suitable. He may have finished with it now and have it kicking around spare

How is it totally wrong? Even a 1275 gasket looks like it will fit until you do and filly you bores with water.

That is a BK450 1275 gasket, and as Ben said, won't work with a small bore head

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Right okay, I always thought that the 12g295 head was from a 1275 block! Got the wrong end of the stick *happy*

Can someone provide a link to the gasket I should be using? pref Mini spares so I can get it in with my next order
