Conventional face sealing metal head gaskets should never be used in the first place. They always fail, even if that appears to be 'only' a tiny weep. There is always a way to get around their use, usually by increasing base packing/gasket thickness to obtain the optimum squish, which in turn offers the best piston cooling subject to CR.

Many thanks, thought that might be the case... A question however WT1, I understand that increasing the base plate gasket size messes with the port timings (summat I'm still trying to fully get my head round, any suggestions for an accessible/understandable 2-stroke tuning guide that explains this? - or might it be that Sticky's forthcoming book covers this...?) so the the question is why does the RT kit have a selection of dedicated head gaskets on the market? Apologies if I'm being stupid...
