Thanks for the info Jack, I hadn't thought of using a Kleenex box, I was leaning more towards a Keens mustard powder box for the head
G'day rufastoo and Kye,
Yes, very funny rufastoo ... and thanks for the Keens' endorsement.
I feel we need to bring in the Kellogg's Company at this point ...
I am confident you will get a reply on this.
My general observation is that the base gasket will be thicker
because Victas did not use locating lugs on the crankcase halves -
meaning that mis-allignment was very much possible. A thicker
base gasket was the solution at design stage.
I have noticed the head gasket (and transfer ports) were made
from a different material - I guess because the mating surfaces
were better assured, and considering the higher temperature
(and pressures) encountered.
Please keep up in the loop as to how this project progresses.
