Do I spot one of the Australian head gaskets - one side coated in a black sticky compound, the other copper? I found these to be extremely durable but they stopped selling them in this country as many wouldn't use them due to the 'differing from original' design. Are they still available in Oz?

They look like JP pistons as well...

The only time I saw a piston melt was on Frank McDonald's Speedy engined AEW - it holed near Inverness (I think) on a very fast JOGLE attempt. The car had extraordinarily high compression.
