djg Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Silly little question, car is 1.6 SS with Rover plastic inlet manifold I have ordered and been sent one of these here, the delivery note says it is for a VHPD engine. Are all these gaskets the same for the K's or do I need another? TIA Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Wrong one.. The one you need is a complex 'O' ring. Beware that there are many (including Rover OE ones) which are incorrectly made and will allow water to seep into the inlet ports in extremis. If you have trouble sourcing them i keep the *correct* ones in stock. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 From what I recall, there are different colours of fancy o-ring style gasket too ? Think Rover used an unsuitable grade, which led to early failures. Caterham used something far better.
