Thanks for the reply kettletimes3,wonder why the bloke I bought it off had blathered it with black sealer
Cheers Mr B

Check the head for any imperfections.
It could have been that he re-used the old gasket.

Had a look and seems ok,cleaned off with a bit of 1200 wet and dry,bit of crystallization in one part but no oily milky gunk

I wouldn't take the risk of a leak,
Buy a new gasket to be sure,
