MG MIDGET HEAD GASKET

The head gasket has gone on my 1500 midget and the oil has become contaminated. There is also a lot of sludge as well. I was planning on using an engine flush to clean out the deposits but I am not sure whether to do this after the gasket change or before?

Many thanks. Should I replace the gasket and run straight away on flushing oil before putting new oil in?

In a word - yes. I doubt it will need to be run long on flushing oil, half an hour should do it.
