just finished replacing the gaskets on my 1949 288. If the manifolds havent been removed in a long time it is a tough job. Some of the nuts are difficult to access. They are 9/16 with a 3/8 24 thread. If the stud itself loosens up, the threaded hole accesses the water jacket.I can loan you a 3/8 24 die nut to clean up the threads if you decide to tackle it yourself. The up side of all this is you will have a chance to check the valve adjustment. Good luck. Let me know if you want the die nut. BEAR
