The early Spit 1500 engines have a recessed block, a .030" deep recess around
each of the 4 cylinder bores at the top of the block. This nesscetates what
is called an o-ring head gasket for proper sealing, very important !! prior
engines and late 1500 engines have the flat deck blocks requiring a normal
type head gasket. A good source of information on the subject can be found on
the Spitfire & GT6 Magazine website. A good source for the gasket and gasket
sets is at APT Fast on the west coast, there is good info there as well.
Unfortunately I do not have the part numbers handy at this moment, I'll try to
post here later when I dig into my files.
Happy New Year !

Does Payen head gasket set CK260 fit Spitfire 1500 engines ? (1976 in this

The set is labeled "4 Cyl. 1.3L 5313 Spitfire Mk IV "
But it is what BPNW sent me for Spit 1500 - I was expecting CK261
Apparently BPNW cannot be bothered to answer this question for me and I am
not
familiar enough with Spit engines to know if all the gaskets are the same.
Thanks and Happy New Year

The Mark 4 1296 block is the same as the 1500. The gaskets will fit.
On a side note there was a bit of Team.Net outage while I was away, but
managed to get the cat sitter to cycle power on the cable modem. Sorry
or any inconvenience.
