[ROVERNET - UK] Clickety Clat

[Steve Lawrence]

Yes Eric,

The car is little quicker off-the-line, but not much difference at top 
speed.  Since each piston is about 1/4" larger in dia.  I thought there 
would be more of an increase in torque.
I am using a regular 2000 head gasket.  What is the difference between it 
and a 2200 head gasket?
