Head Gasket

Post by Tony7868+ »

Good afternoon,
My name is Tony, I'm currently working on an old Seagull engine that wont start, it was seized but now free and has spark.
I'm currently trying to seal the head as that comes loose when you pull it over, the head has 3 copper gaskets which i have cleaned and straitened up my question is should i put gasket sealer on each individual gasket also it has crossed head screws which it doesn't look like they tightening up enough could i change them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards.
Tony

HI tony

A new gasket is needed.

The three layers are kept together by a central crimp.

John has them.

Best
