Hey, guys:
By now, you may have read about my blown head gasket at the CVAR vintage races at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit last weekend. As it turns out, I'm not the only one who has suffered this malady in recent times. I'm not knocking Sunbeam Specialties at all, but the head gasket I used came from there. If I'm not mistaken, another guy I know who races a Sunbeam has had a couple blow on him, too, and I think they came from there as well.
My question to everyone is this; are their higher performance head gaskets available for Alpines or are we just stuck with whatever we can get from mainstream suppliers? Are there any tricks out there that might help me get more than one weekend out of a head gasket??? I'm all ears, guys. I've got another race coming up in about six weeks in Texas and I'd like to be able to last the whole weekend...
Thanks,
