RE: [alfa] Head Gasket Recommendation

Lyford -

As has been mentioned, Reinz is the OEM supplier and is the preferred brand.
Second to that is Goetz (not sure on the spelling). Any of the other
aftermarket head gaskets should be avoided at all costs.

HTH,

Subject: [alfa] Head Gasket Recommendation

Will you engine builders share your thoughts on head gaskets, please?  I had
a
Reinz gasket on my 2 liter, and find my usual sources are out of stock.  Are
there any head gaskets to stay away from?  Any you like better than the
Reinz?

Secondly, I noticed on AlfaBB that Sperry built a 1750 for someone in
January,
then had to redo it because of a leaking piston liner o-ring.  The posting
says Stuart at Sperry said he'd never before had that problem with a new
engine.

My engine builder is very good, but we've just experienced the same problem.
Also a first for him.   I'm wondering if this is coincidence or if some
manufacturer produced a bad batch of o-rings?  Anyone else have trouble in
the
past few months with new liner o-rings?
