K&B Stallion .35 help
« on: May 19, 2008, 07:05:04 PM »
I have an old Stallion .35 that needs a head gasket.  Any suggestions on material and size so I can cut my own?  I don't post much, but I love this site.  Nice, smart people!

Thanks in advance,
Brian

Mine has a head gasket from a OS 35 or 40FP.  I'd probably just cut one from a pop can if I had to do it again.

This uses a composition gasket like the Torpedo. Just find the thinnest composition material you can find. I use leftover gaskets from bus transmissions.

If you can get your hands on one of the old Perfect (brand) Gasket material packages, that is
what I made a Stallion head gasket from, many moons ago.  If you can't find that, try to find some .015 or so
gasket material at an auto parts store (but you'll probably have to buy about 2 square feet and never have any
use for the rest of it).  If all that fails, you can pm me and I'll look - I may even have a K&B original one somewhere
but I know I've got some of the Perfect gasket material.
