MG TD TF 1500 - Engine Gaskets

I need a new valve cover gasket and side cover gasket. Is the Moss rubber impregnated cork gasket, part #290-300, recommended as well as the side cover gasket, part#290-600? PJ

Get Tom Lange's rubber gaskets, they don't leak and will last for years. George

David, Tom just got back to me and wanted my address ASAP! Hope I caught him in time. PJ

If you're in a hurry, you can buy a sheet of silicon rubber and cut the gaskets out yourself. Available from McMaster-Carr or other industrial type sellers. Easier to buy them already done, of course.

Thanks Steve, but I'll wait for Tom as he did email me back. If he's on his way to his vacation, I'll wait, no big rush. PJ

Just got my valve cover and side cover gaskets from Tom. They are quality to be sure! Industrial silicone, quite thick. PJ

You will love them, Mine are the original Roadster Gasket. no leaks in 10 years. I think Tom bought out the company that originally made them and his are the same quality as the original. Good Stuff...

Agree. I have the red 'roadster' silicone gaskets on my Morris Traveler and on my Sunbeam Alpine - they basically eliminate any further need for gaskets - you can disassemble and reassemble as many times as you like and they still seal nicely.
