Many years ago when i done my first bit of 2 stroke tuning and engine building i never bothered with a head gasket. I lapped the head to cylinder and just used sealant. It never let me down.
Though it was aircooled and not water cooled like your motor.

My old ar 50 ran with no head gasket, trying to get the compression up when i was 16! Tried just not putting a gasket in, it ran but i could feel the gasses escaping round the sides! Lapped it all in a bonded it same as you and it was fine!

And iv used kelloggs gasket before now and it works a treat! Gotta be kelloggs though, i noticed on your box there it is fortified with vitamins and iron, does that mean the box is stronger?

Andi like the look of that stuff ts, hand made copper head gasket sounds more highly tuned though lol its all about imaginary bhp on a moped and a copper head gasket has to be worth half a bhp Shocked

I might have actually sourced a standard one now though, im guessing most of these were air cooled as thats all that seems to be available, so not only have i bought an obscure unknown moped but its got an obscure engine in it!

Im hoping its the special edition racing only prototype, well thats what im saying anyway as thats worth another 2bhp!
