Best place to get

A new flywheel and clutch kit from ? SNG Barratt ?

It's a late '68 S2 OTS.

The flywheel teeth have pretty much gone, so starting was hit and miss, now not possible.

Whilst the engine is out, was thinking of replacing the clutch (plus head gasket).

Any suggestions greatfully received !

Many thanks,

Gary

Hi Gary why replace the head gasket are you having problems

[abowie]

If you are not having trouble with the engine I would leave the head very much alone, especially as it's probably a long stud motor.

Hi - getting some slight leaks through the studs up top.

Just thought it made sense - am I being naive and missing something ?

If it's coolant leaking then try some bars leaks worked for a friend of mine

Sorry, missed a bit of detail off - oil coming out the top end studs. Not lots, just when the engines been running/ used for a bit.

Oil shouldn't be able to leak out around the head studs although coolant can.

Are you sure it's not coming from the cam covers and running down into the centre of the head?

[Animal]

No, it's definitely oil (not a lot admittedly) seeping out through one of the headstuds - LHS nearest the bulkhead.
