The Datsun 1200 cylinder head gasket fit A12 and A10 engines. Aftermarket gaskets vary in material and size of cooling holes. Aftermarket gaskets may come with oversized bore holes.

Thickness

Most A-series head gasket are 1.6 mm thick. Some are 1.2 mm thick. Nismo MLS gasket is 0.5 thickness.

See Quench#Gaskets

Blown Gasket

When a head gasket is blown out (partly missing) between cylinders it is obvious, and the engine will run on "two cylinders" (barely run, if at all).
15053.jpgAlbum 15053

But head gaskets more often fail in a less obvious manner -- they lift up enough to allow compression to leak past, causing low compression. An Engine compression test will find this.

A more rare failure is of the oil or water passage. The engine will still run perfectly, but oil will leak or coolant will be lost. A Cooling System Pressure Test can often pinpoint the diagnosis.

Turbo Boost/Supercharger

Standard head gasket works fine to at least 15 psi boost. Over 15psi, consider going to a copper head gasket and orings, which requires a special finish and coatings.

#H39 is the current revision from May 1972. It uses no extra o-ring seal. It made the cylinder openings closer in size to the 73mm bores, in order to reduce emissions. Bonus, it helps HP a tiny bit too.

CYLINDER HEAD GASKET, 1972 MODEL
Bulletin Number: TS72-44
Date: May 22, 1972
Classification Number: EN72-007
Section: Engine
Models: A12,L16

Combustion chambers of the 1972 model A12 and L16 engines were redesinged to reduce hydrocarbon emission to a minimum and the configuration of cylinder head gaskets was changed. The opening in the cylinder head gasket at bore location is made smaller in diameter to reduce the quench area to a minimum and thus prevent incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Because of this change, the correct gasket must be used for replacements on 1972 engines
