Thanks marsbar, it's an early LC, 1980, there is a spacer in there but am I putting right size gasket in, do you know the size of gasket.

I have the early barrels and copper gaskets from Norbo, They don't fit in the exhaust port on the head, the gasket is too big! so my exhaust flange sits proud of the head. I would imagine they will fit in the 4LO/1 barrels...  That said I've no idea if they would but plenty on here would know.... |

I think there can be a variation of different gaskets used depending on what you have ,, for instance mine uses 2 copper gaskets on each barrel with the flange gasket witch butts up snug
