The Lang’s have head gaskets back in stock. Get ‘em while they are hot!

Got a call last week, from both Lang's and Snyder's. Lang's called first, so took it. I re-used my old one when I replaced the head, and did a valve job, as they had been on back order for 3 or more months. I'm comfy, now, having a new one as a spare!

Mine was good timing, as my re-used one blew Saturday. Put the new one in Sunday, I think. Guess I had better order another spare! LOL!!

Just recd 3 and glad of it. Yes, they do not look like 40 years ago but neither do I ! 2 were good, 1 needed a little tweeking but will be fine. When you consider what we pay for them and what it would cost to make one yourself, still a bargain. JMHO

About twenty years ago I bought a big box of gaskets at an auction in South Dakota that turned out to have about 25 new Victor head gaskets individually sealed in cellophane and on a Victor backing board.

It took me a couple years to sell 20 of them on ebay for $25 each, I thought I'd really cut a fat hog getting that much money out of them. I think I should take the two I have left and lock them in my safe. Might be the last ones in existence. No, they are not for sale.

Wasn't the Victor number 101? I can't believe with the number of T's still on the road, they ever discontinued them.

I believe that is correct. I will look later, but it sounds right.

I got my back order last week. Last spring when I ordered one and found them back-ordered, a forum member sent me one. Now I can't remember who sent it to me! I want to send him a replacement, but can't figure out where to send it.

I use nothing but the graphite on the Mosel A’s. Why don’t we use them on the T’s?

I got mine!

They look kind of sloppy around the line of bolt holes on the valve side, but it should not affect the operation.
