I have rebuilt an RJ2 from a box of parts , however I am short of a head gasket, does anyone know of a source for an original? My engine is thought to have been built in 1949 , it will run but is losing water from the gasket. I have found this site most informative and was lucky enough to find another member with an RJ2 only 15 miles from me. thanks in advance
Neville.

Hi Neville and others,

I'm also a proud owner of an old Thornycroft and a Queen Mary lifeboat. The motor still intact needs to be rebuild to be sure everything is in place..

I have 6 Thornycroft RJ/2 engines from the Queen Mary Lifeboats. 3 are as they were removed and 3 have been disassembled and have restoration work started. I am looking for any documentation that is available, like parts list, operator manuals etc.
