Malossi 112 Copper Cylinder Head Gasket

[grimmripper]

I have fitted the kit but are suffering form overheating runaway revs etc.

I am about to pull the engine and do a pressure test but I am thinking that I did not fit the copper head gasket that came with the kit as I thought it was an optional extra to lower the squish. The Malossi head does not have an o-ring like I am used to.

Can anyone confirm if the copper gasket is to be fitted as standard???

if you do not want to use the gasket

use some loktite but only a little and only on the gasket face

when doing a strip down it can easily be removed with paint stripper as long as its none caustic

Thanks Steve

I have a friend who is a Loctite rep.

What is the Loctite number that you would recommend? Ill see if he can get me some samples!!!

one of the gap filling ones such as a bearing grade.

i have used all sorts
but 641 was the last one i used

they are all oil and petrol safe and have good heat resistance
