I have stripped my major engine and it has double "0"rings on the liners the only problem is the block is an early type with the throttle through it to the butterfly on the inlet manifold and should only have a single "0" ring ? any ideas anyone the engine is not the factory fitted it bares the number 5299339 not listed in any fordson books :evil:

Your block was made for a truck engine. They were made by Ebro and imported after production ceased at Dagenham.

You have a small ring at the top and a larger ring at the bottom as per the New Performance block and all the standard parts will fit.
