Is there a reason the two small water holes between cyl 2 and cyl 3 would be blocked in both the Snyder 6:1 head and the A block? The B gasket sold for this head by Snyder has the holes open.

I am looking for a drawing of the stud locations vs the center line of the cylinder bores. I have a Winfield 7:1 crow's foot head that I need to have flycut to clear the pistons that stick up .062" above the block. I have been using a standard gasket, a solid copper gasket and then another standard gasket. That is not really working well at this time. It left me with a crack between the water...08-08-2018, 12:26 PM -
I've got all the head bolts off except one of course. I'm in no hurry and sure as heck don't want to snap the stud so just soaking with Kroil for now.
I came across this video on cleaning the top of the block. It's a Ford block but not Model A. Any thoughts on the procedure?

I overheated our '28 Sport Coupe some time back and thought it had blown a head gasket, again. Today I finally changed the gasket. When I thought I was all done and poured water in the radiator it began leaking out. I first thought it was coming out at the gasket in the center on the driver's side, but after a closer look it appears that the head is cracked just above the gasket surface in that area....05-17-2021, 06:24 PM -
