Hi all. I have to replace my head gasket on my 1.6 emax pinto. My fault after a short run having lost all the water from the bottom hose. I replaced it last year but can't find who I got it off. Definitely not ebay. Burtons don't stock it anymore. It was a victor reinz one. I'm sure someone on here mentioned the link but I can't find that. Lots of googling with no luck. Any clues anybody?

I have done a bit of Googling (I guess thats a verb now) I think that you will find there are two ford OEM numbers, one for the head gasket alone and the other for a head kit that includes the head gasket.  Search with "Ford 5028468" for the kit and "Ford 6905862" for just the gasket. A description of the bore of the engine is already in the following thread https://www.rhocar.org/index.php?/forums/topic/44486-e-max-engine/  where it is quoted as 81mm, the gaskets that the OEM numbers search turns up are 83 mm .... does the head gasket need a 1mm gap ? not sure, if so, then these look right. Here is a link that turns up if the OEM is used in a Google search.

Many thanks for putting your time into the research. I've just managed to find the Reinz one which I used before so it's on the way. Lovely job coming up then!
