I realise this is resurrecting and old thread however it is still a relevant topic today.
Has anyone had recent experience with the Monotorque head gaskets?
We are using one on our Junior Sedan and suspect a failure after only 3 meetings. We experienced some overheating due to mud on the radiator core and reached about 225 deg.F ('ken hot!)
Now, we can't get it to idle properly. Changed carbs and no difference so that is eliminated from the range of possibilities. No vacuum leaks. On raising the RPM it runs smooth.Still investigating at this stage and need to eliminate valve lash as a possible problem. I am now inclined to the view that the head gasket is the source of the problem.
Any suggestions or comments?
