and have those head gaskets got a sort of visial identification to see if they're standard or thicker? if they have where abouts can you take a photo as wouldnt mind checking to make sure mines standard thickness...
i was checking mine today, dosnt seem that thick at all. i dont want to take it out of the wrapper yet tho. but it seems thin. im sure its standard tho, dont want them too thick.

ive welded alloy before.. anyways crack really isnt bad at all and is right at the top of sump too so better than being at bottom, ive just filled it with some special stuff and ill re-use it and wait til engine's running to see if it leaks or not. if it leaks then ill get another.

Stripped down my head today, cleaned it up and fitted new stem seals, although damage 3 of them so need to buy another set, good job i got time on my hands with this engine i suppose and got plenty time to grind in the valves too as got wait for new seals
