I have an unrestored Universal Super Four engine. Don't need it for my project that required a Utility Four. Would like to sell the S4. $250 |

Think I'm going to need a head gasket for my Utility Four. Anyone know of a source? Also, is there a more efficient raw water cooling pump than the brass-geared one my engine now has? I recently had the pump rebuilt and it still has "issues". |

When I rebuilt my Flexifour, I searched and could not find a head gasket. I ended up using the old gasket. This by the way is fairly common. I suggest cleaning up the old one and then use a copper spray gasket compound when you put it back together. |

COPPER SPRAY GASKET COMPOUND - is that a NAPA thing and if not who sells it? Thanks |

Yes, any decent auto supply will have the copper spray gasket. There are several brands but I prefer the Permatex. It is designed specifically for things like head gaskets and exhaust manifolds. You spray the old (or even new) gasket on both sides. Give the old one a couple coats. This is NOT the copper RTV silicone in a tube. |

Just lay the gasket on the top of your trash can and spray one side at a time. Spray so it is dripping off then install the gasket right away. Do NOT do this on a compositon (non metalic) gasket. Yup Permatex is the good stuff. I have used many many cans of it over the years If you can't find coper gasket spray plain old high temp silver spray paint works good too. |
