Headgasket
Time for a new head gasket. What's your favorite head gasket these days? I have always used the traditional copper gaskets but what's out there?

Re: Headgasket
I always use head gaskets with copper on both sides, and sprayed with lots of copper coat before assembly. Tighten to 55#, warm the engine to operating temp, let it cool, then tighten again to 55#. Works every time.

Re: Headgasket
I have had good success with the BEST head gaskets. Their website has a list of people who sell them, but there are others not listed

Re: Headgasket
Best 509 G, perfect fit for H/C Snyder heads. No intrusion into combustion chamber. No sealant to be added.

Snyder's sells them. B-6051-x for the graphite and b-6051-x for the copper. I like the graphite. JB

Re: Headgasket
Bert's sells them also. But I emailed Steve about two months ago to tell him that their on line shopping does not mention anywhere the "Best" name. He answered me that I was correct and he would get that changed right away. I have not checked to see if it is changed, but they do sell that gasket.

Re: Headgasket
Synchro...never got anything from you just so you know. However, I guess I should have clarified, I need a Model B best graphtite head gasket...with the over sized intake valves on my A engine I've had issue with the clearance of the A gasket...

Re: Headgasket
573G works on everything. Snyders carries it but uses their own part number. Look up graphite head gasket for Model B. I only stock this gasket as it works on A&B and don't have to carry two paart numbers.
