Hi ,
I just rebuilt a Fox .35 Stunt (50th anniversary) .
I used Fox' Ceramic P&L , Smith hemi head , Smith NVA , Smith Hi Zoot crank and a Fox stuffer back plate ...
No head shims and everything , except the back plate is metal to metal fit.
Is there anything else I can do (port blocking, maybe) to finish it off ?
Thanks ,
Rob K.

Happy New Year !

Hi Rob
Yes the backplate should not be a metel to metal fit, I would use the gasket that was made to use on the backplate
I would also use 1 standard head gasket, try it this way before trying to not use any gaskets

Rob, I would insert the transfer port filler.
I was given one NIB by one of our friends who thought I had a deprived childhood since I had never owned one. I consulted with Brian Gardner (Bristunt) who definitely recommended the port filler. I also used the stuffer backplate with Randy's crank and NVA. The engine has been bench run and I'm about to fly it.
Cheers, Geoff
