I'm looking for a solid copper head gasket for my LD10, engine number 13849 (later series).
Does anyone know of a source, please?

Thanks for the offer, Marcel, but I need the gasket for the later series... my chassis number is 61885.

Re: LD10 solid copper head gasket
That could be useful!
I shall wait until the head's off before I order a gasket, just to make sure it's the right one... probably a couple of weeks time.

Re: LD10 solid copper head gasket
Now I have the head off, I am pleasantly surprised to find that my head gasket is stamped "Daimler" and 300446, and is solid copper.
Am I right in thinking that if I thoroughly anneal it I can use it again?

Re: LD10 solid copper head gasket
Now that I've removed and started to clean the gasket it appears my initial excitement was misplaced... it's not solid copper after all, just a conventional copper sandwich.
Also stamped Cooper's Gaskets, incidentally.
Shame... I was hoping to save £100.

I don’t remember any models that fitted a “Solid” Copper Gasket, no doubt others can enlighten me !

Re: LD10 solid copper head gasket
Mike, why do you want a solid copper gasket ?
The composite ones are superior. They need reinforcement around all the holes and only a composite gasket can have this.

Re: LD10 solid copper head gasket
I had an idea that solid copper was better, but it looks like I have no choice anyway.
