Anybody against using Indian head sealant on the head gaskets. Or permatex high tac in the spray have had great success with both of these. Also you do not want your surface to be a mirror finish you will be better off roughing it up with some 120 - 220 grit this will give the head gasket...

Very sorry you have to give up something that has giving you so much pleasure. I can kind of relate to the pain my wife goes in this month for her second back surgery from a car wreck we had 1.5 years ago. I see the pain she goes thru everyday so I somewhat know what you must be going thru...

That picture there from 76Dave them are hermaphrodite calipers. That’s what I have always been told and even seen them in catalogs

Rocket man It’s called eye candy and is as old as dirt. This is what every used salesman use to sell anything used. This even applies to women from the beginning of time it’s called makeup for them. With good eye candy a lot of things are overlooked
