Re: 1941 120 Head gasket Issue

Greetings All,

Thanks for all the ideas and info. I did get the head gasket replaced, new hardened washers, cleaned the threads on the studs and nuts with a tap and dye so everything would torque right. I did put a straight edge on the top of the block and did not see any warpage to speak of.

I did a compression test and found that I still have no compression in cylinder #2. Is it possible that the valves are so far out of adjustment that a cylinder would have no compression?

This one is truly puzzling.

Thanks
Gene
