This original head gasket has now been superseded/replaced by the GUG702560HG which has a different black rubber type O ring fitted on the rocker supply gallery. Many customers prefer this original TAM1521 Payen gasket without the rubber seal which has been proven over time to be superior in competition use, even though some people are still using our good copper gaskets, see GEG300.
