2. Re: MGA Head gasket (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2003 10:08:15 EDT; Whoa - you have one seriously planed head there. Last 1622 I built (using the larger chamber head, of course) was a similar compression but had BIG pop-ups on the pistons. The stock big bore flat-top; /html/mgs/2003-07/msg00111.html (8,179 bytes)

5. MGA Head gasket (score: 1): Author: "David F. Darby" <darby@tri-lakes.net>; Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 17:02:29 -0500; The MGA managed to blow a head gasket and I intend to replace it by doubling the head gasket in an attempt to reduce the compression ratio a wee bit.
