1.6 mls headgasket
« on: August 28, 2010, 08:55:56 pm »
I read that 53 willys ran one of these and from what i understand it is custom. How can I get one of these without going through a whole lot of trouble? Anyone else running one of these or something else that will hold up a little better than a stock hg? thanks

If you have a hydro head then just buy the correct thickness 1.9 aaz HG, it will bolt right up. If it is a mechanical head check out 53 willys stuff and he will tell you where to get stuff
OR
Saurkrat has some threads about blocking off the extra coolant passage. I did as well if you check my build thread.

Yep 100% bolt on. Just measure for piston protrusion and you are in there like swimwear.
