Your correct Boris no head gasket supplied with the kit :oops: I will retire to my dark room.

But MB supply one if needed and the instructions advise to fit head and gasket. I give up :roll: I admit I did not build the top end and shall say no more.

I think the gaskets are only ment to be fitted to use as packers.
Don't quote me on it though.
Don't get me wrong the kit looks so well engineered and finished off it would fool any novice like my self
But I have had enough of it now.
4 pipes 2 carbs later and looking at a full strip down to change crank.
I have decided to change to another kit that I will all most be guaranteed the performance the RT promised but did not deliver.
