Hi mate, not sure the aluminum item will seal accordingly. It doesn´t have any sealing lips around the water pipes. But then it´s just a guess. Why don´t you look out for a paper seal?

hi
the last one only lasted 50 miles but i think that was probably my fault as i previously had to take the head off after 5 minutes of running on a new gasket and i reused the gasket,knew you shouldn't but 60quid for five mins made me whince a bit and i took the chance,i didn't know wether the aluminium was more suited for use with the high comp piston,
