Doctor's Pontiac Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Can someone provide names of suppliers of head bolts and a head gasket for my 1950 Chieftain? Engine is the original 268 c.i 8 cylinder. Started to increase temperature a week ago and the radiator suddenly got damaged, leaking in several parts at the top welding. After inspecting at a shop it seems the head gasket is also showing some leaks. I was advised to replace the head gasket in addition to fixing the radiator. I found a few business selling gaskets but none selling head bolts for this engine. Hope some of you can advise on where to buy them.Thanks !

Willys77 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Hi Manuel. Google arp.com and you may find something? Hope this helps.Also, try Al Lambert at Gasket City. Probably google: gasketcity.ca Al is in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada). Edited December 10, 2013 by Willys77 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiecowboy Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I get my Pontiac gaskets from Al Lambert, he is excellent to deal with. For the bolts try EGGE machinery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
