Title: Johnson BB Combat Head Gasket
Post by: Andre Ming on October 07, 2015, 08:11:30 PM

Hi All:

I have a Johnson Ball Bearing Combat Special that is missing the head gasket.  I seriously doubt any of you would have a NOS head gasket for it (if you do, let me know and I'll exchange some $$ for it!), but I am hoping that someone can tell me:

* What material was used. (Felt? Paper? Copper? Aluminum?)

* What thickness.

Armed with the above information I'll bet I can fabricate one.

Riley: Would you by any chance remember details about the Johnson head gaskets?

Thanks very much for any input.

Andre

Andre, if Riley , or other finds an original gasket, there is someone that will Laser cut replicas of any gasket you need. I can't recall the website just now but you can google to find it. He has many patterns in stock, but if he doesn't already have the one you need, he will use your original as a pattern.
Regards, Lyle

This is a great resource for gaskets. I have gasket set for my Fox36XBB and plan to order for my Johnson CS.

Andre, All I  found was a couple of Johnson sleeve gaskets; no head gaskets.  Somewhere I have a small box full of gaskets but so far have not found it....
Sleeve gasket is same except larger ID....
