I won a head gasket kit off ebay for £10.
The bloke was selling them for £40 buy it now but he advertised it as F7P gasket kit so it wouldnt have had many hits, hence why it only made £10.

It all looks good, but looking at the actual HG, it doesnt seem to have the full silicone bead around the edge like i've seen on others. (project hairdresser)

Take a look!

Bad quality pic but you can make it out.
Is this ok or should i get another HG and just use the other gaskets in the kit?

use it, don't see why you shouldn't. Might not last as long as a decent one though
