I used a composite head gasket supplied by the people who rebuilt my head. Well respected in the etype forum
They recommended VHT copper gasket spray with very specific torqureand re torque process.
I’ve spoken to others who also recommend this product and process.

The head gasket was advertised as and is supposedly a genuineJaguar part, supplied by a proprietary Jaguar parts supplier.
