It seems that I am not receiving all my emails. I received this one, but did
not get all the others that were in this train. I wish that we had a Cometic
MLS head gasket for race TR3/4s. I contacted Cometic some time ago, but they
wanted a huge order before they would make them. I have not tried them
recently. I can make a steel shim head gasket work, but it takes a lot of
time. I modern head gasket would make things much easier. Regarding the rear
seal, the old style uprated seal (scroll removed) has been good in my race car,
which I take well over 7000 rpm. It is my street TR4 that has the problem.
The previous owner built the engine and the seal was a problem for him (I knew
about it when I bought the car). Not sure what seal kit he used. I need to
pull the engine and take it apart to see what is what. Thanks. Joe(B)

Hi Neil. Since I retired from racing, I have built a couple of Triumph
engines, and am now working on an MGB engine. On the first Triumph engine I
did, I used used the stock Triumph head gasket, with Gaskacinch sealant, which
I had used in the race car for 20 years or so. Gaskacinca is an old regional
gasket cement found in the Midwest USA. I had trouble getting it to seal, and
ended up with a combustion leak. My machine shop guy recommended Cometic for
the head gasket, and Hylomar sealant. So I tried that combination, and it
worked great. I'm getting ready to use a Cometic head gasket on the MGB I am
rebuilding, and thought I would use Hylomar sealant. Are you familiar with
Cometic head gaskets? If so, what sealant would you recommend? I have some
Hylomar left over from previous builds, but if you have something that is
better, I'd like to use that. Do you ship to the US? If so, how would I go
about ordering your Wellseal product? Thanks for your help. Jack Wheeler
