Thanks for showing the head gasket Jaffa,
Yes, I would also like to know if head bolt or bolts where loose.
So engine was starting OK with a gasket in that condition?
I remember a power torque engine I had was hard to start, but did run.
It made a strange noise, like a air chuffing.
Found a piece out of the head gasket on top of the cylinder, you could see the combustion fire through gap. Dont often get to see inside the engine while its running.
Great stuff.
