R4 cylinder head gasket

[johnjolly]

Today I started to replace cylinder head gasket on my 1991 Savanne which I understand has a 950 engine.
However the gasket set from Franzose is different to the one fitted. The original has slightly oval 72 x74 MM
holes for the pistons, which Franzose tell me are usually fitted to the large 1100 engine.
Can anyone enlighten me which engine I should have.
The car has only covered 62 Kl and I assume it is all original and correct.
Did they produce late Savannes with 1100 cc engines?
PS there was little wrong with the car other then a slight oil leak which was the only advisory on the MOT and I wanted to avoid the same comments next week, when I take the car in for this years MOT.

I think you need to be sure about which engine you have first. See http://quatrelle.wikia.com/wiki/Engine for tips on how to do that.

Engine no's C1C C7/08....... C130975 which makes it 950 cc. This is the old gasket and the suggested Franzose replacement part number is......81042(but I'm unable for some reason to load picture of it.) It is clear that the piston holes are oval 72 X 74 MM.
The Franzose catalogue states that 81042 is for 1100 R4 engines.
But the replacement is on its way so we will know next week if it's correct.
