does anybody know the deminsions for oringing the head?
and do you just use a stock headgasket?

my local shop will do it, but he needs deminsions for doing it, and he said they can either use a .41 or a .51 wire? i dont know what it means. but any help would be great

 

I thought you used a copper gasket but I'm not sure.

 

.041 or .051 is the diameter of the wire.

My 24v head had .41 wire, the groove was cut .039 wide and .029 deep, leaving a .012 protrusion. I can't remember the diameter of the groove cut though.

 

yeah i called another motor guy, he said he can o ring, just a little busy. i just didnt know what headgasket i should use for the best sealing

 

i thought a stock headgasket was wat ppl use

 

im pry gunna use the stock one. i just didnt know if there was anything out their thats better

 

shied diesel

you use a stock headgasket with o rings
