Just seen a mini some of you may know on the back of an aa van by prestwood averies near kingswinford. I saw it at minispares midlands open evening last year. As far as im aware it has a std metro turbo, vermillion red, roundnose, black grille, black 10" wheels and 3 swaged holes on the drivers side of the bonnet. Wonder whats happened to the fella :( On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Blimey thats pretty extreme, check the block surface very very carefully before you consider putting it back together.

^agreed they tend to sink between 2-3 If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Block and head are fine, and are still flat with no high or low spots.

Gents I have a spare gasket in my garage with bk450 stamped on it except it is grey in colour. I've only ever seen black ones.

I did a head gasket like that after forgetting to torque it down for the 2nd time, won't make that mistake again If in doubt... flat out! The words of a true legend |

All fixed today and back together. Did a cool and hot compression check and equal across all cylinders. Hopefully I won't have anymore problems for a while. Fingers crossed. |

Don't know what the make of gasket is. It's got the CP in a triangle and 'made in England' stamped into it.
