head gasket

[Daggs]

Hi all. I'm a Vespa novice. Does a P125X engine have a head gasket?

Not usually , just a smear of gasket blue after you have flattened the head by using fine sand paper with a little WD on it and a sheet of glass and work the head round in a figure of eight motion...clean off , gasket blue on , then torque the head bolts a little at a time up to the correct setting( 13lb/ft ? in Haynes manual), in a diagonal fashion ( so as not to warp the head)....simples
