B Head Gasket
Does anyone know if a copper B head gasket will work with a stock Model A head? I have motors with high compression heads so I have B head gaskets in stock but current motor has a stock head which is in need of a new gasket.
Thanks, Steve |

Re: B Head Gasket
The Model B gasket is shaped for a smaller combustion chamber. Will it work, probably? Would I do it, NO. Lay the Model B gasket on top of the A head and compare. The gasket will overhang the combustion chamber and form a hot spot for detonation.

Good advice from Charlie, lay the gasket on the head and see if it fits. The B head has a smaller "waist" area between the valves and cylinder, so may stick out into the combustion chamber, causing a hot-spot.
