Mikke,
If I understand spanish is your mothertale, do you speak a little bit of french ? It could be easier for me to understand what's the problem with the motor ( in a box, dismantled ? ).
We've already 'remade' two motors and may help in case of need.

Ok, now I understand.
Pay attention, if the cylinder head gaskets were 'out'; that's mainly because of the poor cooling system of the Lagonda. Check the waterpump ( if it rattles on the axle, it has to be repaired or replaced ) and certainly clean the radiator ( or rebuild it; it's cheaper than to buy a new one from AML ).
To make a good job, the motor needs to be put out of the car, otherwise you will not success to screw the cylinder heads at the right torque; and the work will need to be redone a few months later.
The method is described in the owner's book ( torque, and so...) but I can scan and post if you need or download the manual here :

All the gaskets are easily available at AML dealers at affordable prices.
More later.
