Im getting ready to put the heads on, but which gasket to use, I would have gone for a MLS type but these are not available from TVR parts, they did sell them, so was there a problem with them for the V8's. And copper is not an option thanks

Hi Rob I hope you have your Cerb back and all is well with the repair, MLS gaskets are very common on modern cars I have fitted a few, Cometic do off the shelf gaskets in two thicknesses for the V8 AJP, so Im sure its these which they were selling, There seems to be two types of composite gaskets or it may now be just the one from the TVR boys, I have not been informed of any problems with them,BUT there are lots of old cars out there with original gaskets still in use, the AJP on the other hand dont seem to want to keep its factory gasket. Back to the start lol the MLS gaskets that must have been fitted at sometime did they fail or is it down to politics as to why no longer supplied
