Wheatfarmer Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I'm looking for a cylinder head for my EJ Studebaker. Is the aluminium one preceding the cast iron EM head. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetaxi Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 They are very expensive, but have been and maybe still are being cast by Mariner's Marina: marinersmarinabarnegat@yahoo.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stude Light Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Let us know what you find out. A few of us that drive our cars a lot may be willing to buy a spare which may help get the cost down a little. I’m just waiting for the day that number 1 cylinder cracks across the top of my original, weld free head. Most heads I see have a weld in that area or across a couple of cylinders.

Bud Tierney Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) In trying to get a group together to defray costs of fabbing , it might help to post which cars that head should fit...looks like could be 20 to part of 192323 Light Six, EJ, EM models and possibly Light Six EM balance of 19231923...BUT I don't have a head gasket listing for any of those models... There were some internal changes in 1923 at engine # 16009...looks like heavier wrist pin and valve changes, which could indicate engine update maybe affecting head...... Are the two Stude groups (Stude Owners abd Stude Drivers Clubs still sepaate groups?? NOTE: I don't know why that catalog (1930 McCord) doesn't show this engine---it lists a 1918-19 4 ctl, a 1918-26 Big Six and a 1919-20 Special Six ...was this Light Six very .low production, or was it, like P&Hs engine, something they don't like to talk about??

Stude Light Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1920-mid-1923 Studebaker Light Six (EJ and EM). The aluminum head is interchangeable for all these model years. Halfway through the 1923 production run, they change to the cast iron design which also changed the block, intake/exhaust manifolds, and carburetor from Stromberg OS-1 to Stromberg OE-1. The Antique Studebaker Club is primarily the pre-war club and uses this AACA forum as their own. The Studebaker Driver’s Club is primarily the post-war club. The Light Six was the high volume car and had the modern engine design which carried info future Studebaker models and went to full-pressure lubrication in the 1925 Standard Six. BTW- Studebaker also had a Light Six EH model in 1919. That is a totally different car so don’t confuse it with the EJ and EM models. It was more like a Special Six. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
