From what I can gather, the Victor Reinz composite head gasket (part no: 61-35330-00) does not have a sticky adhesive on its surface. Instead, the surface has a special dry coating (or impregnation). This coating stops the gasket from soaking up oil and water - this came from Google!
Therefore do I run it without coolant initially to get hot or fill it after installation?
My current, revis...

UK is very cosmopolitan. We've got the Monsoon as well.

It's supposed to be summer here. When I went out at 11:00 this morning, it was a heady 10°C

Have you checked out the web site " The Original MG TD Midget", there are a lot of details on there ,plus photos of original cars on there.Click on Gallery and then on 1951 TD (TD 10941)which is a white(ish) TD. It might give you some ideas or help.

..."disgusted, Tunbridge Wells" - happy days.
Re. Willy's original point, it's early winter here up north, down to 17 at night and I refuse to light the fire unless it gets down to 13. Not using a lot of wood these days.

Would anyone have a photo of matching piping fitted to a white (or close to white) T series? I have trouble visualising such a combination, but I totally accept that it's the "correct" approach. I guess old english white is also not an original T series colour - sequoia might be the nearest. Thanks all. John.

So true Jan. Cars and bikes becoming worth less as each day goes by. Even an E type is within reach now; should I want one still. And sadly as well as the price of spares increasing, the quality is decreasing at least in equal measure.

Daniel. I had the same conversation the other day.
