If a 1 hole came off and you've skimmed the head you would put a 2 hole one on but if your putting a new head on I couldn't saw you could put a 3 hole one on if stuck but it my lower the compression as they are thicker 1 hole being the thinnest and so on ask who you get the head off they may be able to tell you better

not quite so
unfortunately here's a specific LR thing again
> the 2 hole one is the thinner, then comes the 1 hole and the 3 hole:- 2 holes = 1.20mm
- 1 hole = 1.27mm
- 3 holes = 1.35mm
for a new head the 2 hole one is needed!
click on +15 in this link then + in front of each thickness http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=816369&SPRACHE=EN

if somebody told you that the 1 hole is the thinner you've been missinformed as this thickness order by holes on the gasket(2-1-3) is so from the beginning

I just bought a new head from Turner Engineering and would recommend them. You need to look at the gasket you have just taken off and replace it with one with the same number of holes. Mine was a 1 hole gasket and I replaced with like for like.

no offence but that might be wrong wrong...not critical though as you used a thicker gasket than needed which can affect the compression not doing any damage, it's all about thicknes and protrusion of the pistons(more complicated than it seems)...cos if your gasket was with 1 hole, the old head was or skimmed or somebody fitted the wrong gasket to it(as long as you are not aware that the pistons, connecting rods or the crankshaft were replaced... always use 2 hole gasket for a new head, u should use the same thickness gasket for the same head if it wasnt skimmed or the pistons or crankshaft replaced

if you do this job buy 13 grommets too(ERR7266), they are cheap but important cos they help the bolts grip the cover down well onto the seal and head... you'll avoid ulterior leaking
