Hello, I bought a head gasket from a reputable online provider of Rare Spare partS and the one I received says EK23 on it. Is it the same gasket for both the EK23 and EK42, as I have an EK42? Cheers.

Ooops, where they found that gasket it is a wonder, problem is that the EK23 has a 76 mm bore and the EK42 is 2 mm bigger at 78mm.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED, REGARDS, GREG Hi Greg, according to the workshop manual you set the crankshaft so that the key way is at the piston bottom dead center position. Hope this helps. If not let me know and I will check on the engine its self over the weekend. Cheers lincolntbird.
