Posted this over on the MGE forum with mixed results- I have a 69 B roadster with engine 18 GH WE H xxxxx whis is correct for the car. As far as I know it is the original engine. Ordered the "uprated" silicone gasket set (VC + SC x 2). The old cork gaskets I have (oooolld but unused) fit the front gasket quite snugly but do not go to the edge and the cork fits the groove of the rear cover perfectly. The new silicone side gaskets are both the same size (6 3/8” x 2 7/8” OD, 5 7/8” x 2 9/32” ID) and will fit the front fine if glued in place but will absolutely not fit the groove of the rear. Vendor say they have never had a complaint for fit on these. So, do I have the incorrect gasket for the rear or has a PO replaced my rear cover with one from a different motor?
