Im a noob with engines so dont laugh if its a daft question lol.

My engine is a 1.2 block with a 1.3 camshaft thats what the guy i bought it off says anyway.

well when i took the engine to bits it didnt have a gasket under the camshaft :confused:

well ive found a set on ebay that i want to buy but its for a 1.3 engine, will it fit mine :confused:

i used a nice neat bead of instant gasket mine, peels off easy aswell so excess can be neatened up. just make sure you apply it towards outside of the head, so excess comes to the outside not inside
