Re: New Radiator Opinions
What did the core cost? When did you purchase it? and who did you purchase it from?
As I understand it, Maine Radiator only sells through distributors/ commercial customers.

Re: silicone head gaskets
Please save yourself the trouble and throw that gasket away. There are plenty of people who have had bad experiences with that head gasket, including myself.
Instead, use Best Gasket Part #509G/...

Exhaust Valve Seat
I have a damaged hardened valve seat (1.625”).. It will need to be increased to the next size. Is there enough “meat” in the block to accept a 1.750” valve seat on #4 exhaust?

Re: Rebuilding Rear Axle
Do not pack the bearings with grease... Just pour gear oil all over the bearings prior to installation.
