• I originally used a 3 notcher because of the fuel I was running but after I installed the new rings i decided to go with the correct gasket for the protrusion I had which speced out to be a 1 notch.
  
  So ya, I need a one notch.
  
  My other engine a a full hydro engine so I will be able to use an AAZ gasket with no mods.
  
  Maybe when it gets to that point I'll need a 2 notcher and I can buy the one you just bought from Myke to help ya recoup some of your costs.

• Well I don't see me getting to the other engine within that time frame so no worries.

• Why did you opt for a custom gasket opposed to the aaz one?

  I just dont like the idea of using oil filler cap rubber or sealer and old fiber gasket to patch the hole on the AAZ MLS gasket....I know lots of guys are running it with no problems...but I was just not completely sold on it, so I looked for a better option...it may end up costing me 2x as much as a AAZ mls gasket..but the piece of mind will be worth it to me.
  I even had them make my new 1.6 mls gasket WITH the extra AAZ cooling holes
  I just wish they would hurry!!

• 53 willys, are you running a hydraulic or solid lifter engine?
• #203 by zukgod1 on 03 Dec, 2008 13:36
• He has a solid lifter engine.

• I really can't wait to see how the gasket from gasketstogo work out.  I'd be up for 2 or 3 if they are a success.

• Great pictures!
• #207 by Smokey Eddy on 04 Dec, 2008 13:38
• Ahhhh right you have a mechanical block i understand now.
  
  I was like ... blocking the hole? what are you on about. Oh, mechanical lifters...
• #208 by fatmobile on 04 Dec, 2008 20:48
• I still can't believe the stock head gasket blew out that fast.
   Put another fiber gasket in there so you can drive it while waiting for the special gasket,... they're cheap.
   Just to satisfy my curiousity  
• #209 by Smokey Eddy on 04 Dec, 2008 21:28
• If you were closer i'd give you the fiber one i ordered by accident. I pad 15$ for it. It's a three hole no-name.
