I'm looking at replacing the head gasket in the TR6. The engine overheated a couple weeks ago. Things seemed okay but now the system is pressurizing just as the engine is reaching operating temperature. This will be the third time it's been replaced in two driving seasons and is showing the same symptoms as before. Shouldn't be a retorquing issue, but I will test the torque at disassembly.
The head is going to the shop for magnifluxing and checked for warping.
I've been using Payen head gaskets. Never had problems with these before. In fact, never had any head gasket problems before.
Compression ratio is 9.7-1. Any suggestions on a gasket that might provide better results than what I've been experiencing? I have a solid copper one that was given to me, but I want things to seal on the first try.
