ARE THESE LINCOLN V-12 HEAD GASKETS?

[AlanM]

These gaskets are McCord 6126A and there is also a number 26H6051 on them. Are they for Lincoln V-12 engines and are they the same for all years? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have dealt with the V 12 motor since 1955 and all head gaskets interchange except the aluminum heads had felt not metal gaskets. Waldren Fort Myers,Fl

Thanks for your response. Are these 6126A gaskets correct for the V-12?

26H is a Lincoln number so I would have to say yes, Lincoln V-12 gaskets.

1952 McCord gasket catalog B2 covering 1937-52 shows the 6126A for :

Lincoln V12 (Zephyr, Cont'l, Custom)

901 1936, HB 1937, 86H 1938, 96H 1939 (23/4x33/4=267.3 engine);

06H 1940, 16H, 168H 1941, 26H, 268H 1942, 66h 1946, 76H 1947, 876H 1948 (all 27/8x33/4=292 engine).

OE # shown is 26H-6051A (note the "A" not on yours??).

ALSO SHOWS ANOTHER ENTRY: "Lincoln 12, Pass 12-136, 12-145 37-38 See Catalog "A" (which I do not have).

My Motor Manual (covers 35-46) says the V12 136 and 145 1935-40 has a 31/8x41/2=414cid engine)

OOPS" That Motor manual says the 26H and 268H 1942 and the Zeph/Cont'l 1946 have a 2.937 (15/16)x 33/4=305 engine.

So looks like your gaskets fit some V12's...I'm a little curious about the "6051" "6051A" difference.

The 6051 head gasket was for the '36 to '39 Zephyr and the 6051-A was used for all years, '36 to '48. Suspect the 6051-A had a few enlarged water passages?

I apologize to everyone for causing the confusion. The number on these gaskets does include the "A" at the end. It is 26H6051A. Thank you for all your help.
