When i went to see John @ MKO a few days ago he recommended i use the BK450 (TAM1521) head gasket for my Cooper S.
John told me that, this is the only head gasket Graham Russell will use on his engines.
Lets just say i added this to my parts pile

Hi All Anthony here. I never post much as I can find most things I need on here with the search key. we are about to build another motor for Targa Great Barrier Reef as the current 1275 is getting a bit sad. GR is working on the crank shaft and various other parts at the moment and I just wanted some opinions on what other people use for their race motors. My first question is has any one on here used this type of clutch plate ? https://oz.minisport.com/c-aht598-clutc ... -only.html Second question who stocks the best oil pumps? Third question what head gaskets do people use? Thanks in advance for any info. Cheers Anthony. |

Hi Anthony Re your questions - 1. Clutch plate, think about how much power your engine is going to make and choose the clutch plate & diaphragm to suit. Most find the bonded & riveted clutch plate (C-AHT596) is fine. Orange dot diaphragm (C-AEG481) would also be suitable (if you can get one). 2. Look for a steel backed oil pump, most suppliers will stock these, eg Karcraft, MiniSportSA, MiniKingdom etc. 3. Have used BK450 (TAM1521) for many years without any issue. Hope this helps. regards Steve |

No personal experience but I have also been recommended the Payen BK450 by several knowledgeable people so have acquired one to put in my Cooper S engine. Most Mini parts places would have them. Here's MKO's offering. https://minikingdomonline.com.au/produc ... per-s-etc/ |

I use bk450 with forced induction and never had an issue. Only 45ftlb of torque though, not 50 like the Haynes book of lies tells ya. |
