Title: wasp 061
Post by: Bootlegger on December 25, 2012, 09:53:11 AM

  Does the wasp .061 have head gaskets/shims? I just pulled the head/globutton off one and didn't see a gasket.

  Also if is supposed to have one, what will fit? Any thing from cox engines?
  Thanks a lot, Gil

Hello Gil,
Anythining that fits a Cox will fit a Wasp. Same head threads, so all is easy. You are better off ditching the existing glow button / head once the plug burns out. The plugs are expensive and not all that readily available. Use a Galbreath Head and Nelson plug or buy a Merlin head and use their glow buttons. With either of these heads, you will probably want to decompress a little using Cox head shims.

Happy Christmas,

Andrew.
