Need Clark air CA-1 parts.

I need some reference help on parts for the CA-1 Dozer.

 

I am looking for the crossover number for the head gasket on this Waukesha FC motor. Google is of no help.

 

Any info on Felpro or a Clark source would be greatly appreciated.

The liquid you see above is coolant from head removal.

 

This was one of those "ran when parked" finds. No cover on the exhaust stack and the #1 and #4 exhaust valves were partially opened. The pistons were stuck at mid cylinder for all. A rust ring developed on 1 and 4. 2 and 3 were clean. An inch of Aero Kroil in all finally persuaded them that "resistance is futile" after 3 weeks. Gentle rocking of the crank nut every day finally worked. A hone took care of the rust and a micrometer of the inside of cylinders shows no bowling or out of round.

 

I am going to put it back together and see if it will run. I want to make sure the rest of the drive train is a go before I refurb the motor. Parts are very tough to find.
