studeboy Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 If it is like the later light six and dictator motors I would check for pinholes in the metal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 OK, thank you Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 I put the new gasket on and that worked but, the copper crush washers did not. I had to go get the sealing washers. That the ones with the rubber on the back side. Did not see any pin holes . Thanks Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Parts book calls for the p/n 5960 copper washers but a little Permatex Right Stuff sure helps. Those water headers like to rot away. Examples of illustrations and p/n call outs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
