    It is a sad fact that head gasket failure is misunderstood by a number of Caterham specialists. I should know, three head gaskets later I found an old school specialist who identified the issue. His diagnosis, subsequently confirmed by the former k-series production manager at Rover. Simply, no.1 cylinder runs hot, if engine overheats, no.1 cylinder liner drops into support shelf within block . No new head gasket will resolve this as it now sits below the other liners. My advice, before replacing a head gasket, check height of liners is within Rover tolerance. New Rover block and repositioned header tank solved my problem. Chris
