question Head Gasket Question B-80

[Cold_War_Collection]

Well,

 

our Rebuilt B-80 arrived, and it will require a bit more prep work than we thought, as # 7 spark plug had been removed sometime in the deep dark past, and with a bore scope, well, we see rust :cry:

 

so, we need to pull the head, and that will require us finding a head gasket right away...so, anyone know of a source? and are there different grades of quality on the market that we should be aware of ? as well, any Torque settings that have been used ?

 

other than that, a quick Bell Housing change and a freshen up, and in it goes!

 

Cheers

Hi. Marcus Glenn have some B81 gaskets for sale

Give them a call, if the B81 is not suitable, the chances are they probably have the B80 one floating around.

 

Banister's is also worth a go.

I've dealt with both in the past and both Marcus Glenn and Banister's are helpful and friendly
