The new production copper head gaskets are slightly different from the old style copper gaskets, and address the fit problems you have found with the excellent Prus head. I ordered mine from Langs recently and it fits correctly. Thank You! to who-ever modified the new gaskets. It will save a lot of ...

Thanks for the explanation, and best of luck with your sale!

I received a reply that it has already sold.

RadRacer, this is your thread. If the Sherman head on Facebook is what you are looking for, go for it. I did send the poster on Facebook a question about the small holes in each combustion chamber along side each sparkplug hole. This is something I have not seen before.

Thanks for posting all of this, Frank!

I'd love to try a Sherman SuperFire head, but I've never found one that was for sale.

Bill, my T has an ammeter that I believe is like yours. When it gets sticky, I remove the back of it and spray it real good with starting fluid. Let it dry, reassemble, and it's good for another 5 or 6 years. Electronic parts cleaner would probably work also, but I never seem to have any around.

Always credit where due. Thanks for the thread.....

Consider the idea shamelessly stolen!

The oil cooler tubes are a neat concept! I'd like to add the idea to a project I'm working on if you don't mind, Hank.

Remove the screws that hold the breaker plate (and distributor cap hold-down clips) and turn the breaker plate 13/16 of an inch counterclockwise. Drill the distributor...

I love these old pictures. Thanks for posting!

That sounds like it might be a broken rear axle ring gear/pinion tooth.

Very cool speedster photos. Thanks for posting them.

It might also be that you have a mixture of heavy (early) and light (later) connecting rods. Perhaps remove the inspection cover and check before you pull the engine.

I received my OF back from Stan on Monday. It looks great. He does them in batches so 4 or 5 other guys probably got theirs back also.
Have faith. Stan will get to it. Us old guys move slow!
