Help - Need Photo
 

I need a photo of a copper cylinder head gasket that has the classic burn-out between Cylinders 3 & 4. The photo will go into a presentation I am making for my Model "A" club.

Bob,

I hope this helps, the picture of the gasket blew out on our recent trip down the Natchez Trace Parkway in October. We stopped at the Old Tabaco Farm and when we started it popped and blew. Had a new one on torqued and off we went for 1,200 trouble free miles.

Would like to see your presentation on this and maybe share it with our Worcester County Model A Club, a fellow New England Meet particpant.

Contributing to the issue of the gasket blow outs between the outermost cylinders is the fact that the only copper gaskets you can get now are really thin between cylinders 1/2 and 3/4. They're made this way now to allow for the overbore that most rebuilt engines have. Earlier versions of this gasket have much more material between the cylinders. I've horded a few of these earlier version. BTW, have you seen the prices for these copper gaskets recently? Wowza.

Werner, I would like a better picture of your Kevlar gasket. Thanks for the offer.
