I have a Model b head (C) that I want to use on my Model A. Does anyone know the compression ratio of that head? Also can I get by with a copper headgasket ith that head? thanks, Mike

Copper is the only head gasket I use. With Copper Coat sprayed on both sides of course.
Right now my 28 is using a very old used head gasket that I cleaned up and reinstalled. It's working fine.
