Can anyone help with the sourcing of a cylinder head gasket for my P66? With Fairways closure my previous source has gone. |

I have just ordered P6 from here (made to measure from a photocopy). A bit more expensive than off the shelf, but reputed to be good quality.

Many thanks to John Allen, George Martin, David Myers and Peter Ogborne for their comments re seals. I half suspected this may have been my problem but tried everything else in the hope that I would not have to completely dismantle the engine. I hope to take it out tomorrow and will dismantle it. Will keep you posted on my progress.
Thanks again
Ken |

Have finally pulled the motor down (well not completely yet), I have found the flywheel collet broken into 2 pieces (looks like a very old break so it was probably put back together that way by the last person who worked on it prior to our purchase). Being in 2 pieces it made it very difficult to remove the front section of the motor as the peices were locking against one another. I am waiting for a reply from the Stuart Turner Spares place in UK as to whether they have one available and at what cost, I also have enquired locally about having one made in steel, and have been told it would cost AUST $120.
I have another problem in that I have found that I have tried both ways but it refuses to move either way, and I do not like the idea of perservering if I am turning it the wrong way. Any information on this would be appreciated. I also found that the holes immediately above the seals were blocked so this would be the reason for my problem. |
