How Do All
I fitted a reusable copper head gasket to my LC and i noticed it makes the head sit off the barrels by 1 or 2 mm's is this normal ? will it make a difference ? If so any advice as to what i need o do to compensate for this or am i just being paranoid ? Thanks

Got it on fleabay "supposedly " for an LC , noticed Norbo doesn't have it up these days in the LC section ? I torqued it down using the correct torque settings think i will swap to standard for now just to be on the safe side , thanks again .

Why the mention that one needs reprofile the cyl head simply to use a sheet copper HG??
Seems nonsensical to me, have I missed something here?

copper gaskets are re-usable were as others like composite type gaskets are not.
