Frequently Asked Questions
Which A-Series engines does this fit?
Every type of engine - Mini, Metro or inline. The original Rover part number was GUG705558GM.
What is the torque setting on the stud nuts?
We install the studs by hand and nip-up the nuts by feel with a spanner. However, if you do prefer to use a torque wrench, aim for 10-14lb.ft on the nuts.
Is this just a standard gasket?
No, it is our own MED thermostat gasket, cut from a special aramid fibre material with nitrile rubber binder. These are thicker than standard types and make an excellent upgrade. The colour can vary depending on material availability.
Do I need to use any sealer on this gasket?
Not usually, but if you prefer to use a sealer, a very light application of RTV or similar should not do any harm.
