Head gasket

[Glen290]

Going to look at a 53 plate 1.8 atomix later today, only has 44k on the clock and seller says it has no signs of HG failure, but if I get it, its going straight in to get an uprated one fitted, question is do all motor factors sell the uprated ones now, or is it better to get it from a dealer, and what else should i get done at same time..

The thing with the uprated mls gasket is it doesn't suit all engines, things like liner height are sometimes not suited to the uprated gasket.

It might be better to run it as it is, and keep a close eye on fluid levels etc.
