Re: Not Model A need identification

Re: best head puller

Re: Best head gasket

I really like the Best Graphfite gaskets.

Re: Hole in water jacket

Wrap a bunch of Teflon tape for plumbing fittings. Use enough that it’s a little bit of a tight fit as the tape is meant for tapered threads. It will seal it and be able to come out easy later.
