Friends, have you ever felt before to be a happy owner of a specific screw or a part of an exhaust pipe? Or even an old manual, written in Russian? I am definitely remote operated and controlled.

I agree what you say, I could not have said it better.
I have had that feeling when buying Moskvich and Volga literature and new parts. Its some kind of excitement thats hard to explain.

Quote:

Today I am authorised to proudly present you some few works of the Ukrainian designer Zurel, which drives with a ZIS-110 through the virtual reality.

Im speechless!

Quote:

Yes Dave, that's for sure. And it is all the more astonishing that the Soviets sometimes have taken leave of their senses and ingenuity.

I met 2 years ago a guy how worked in the Moskvich factory turning 1977-1986 and the storys he told me where just to amazing, to be thru. Hes own words where: If the Russians had stopped investing in nuclear missels and constructing cars
and other civilian products as they built the rockets we would
have had a much better living today?!
How much is it thru, I don't know, I leave it other to charge!

Steve, my friend earns his living by selling vintage cars. That requires to offer spare parts as well as car literature. I would like to distinguish between business and hobby

To Guscha: That line is kind of familiar to me, I think by all what I have seen, I do distinguish hobbys from business.
I will find the literature, one way ore another!

But here something I haven't posted jet:

If I remember correctly the ZIS-110 engine uses oil marked AS-8(AC-8 in russian) by the literature. The same AS-8 oil is even today in production under the name M8V Avtool!
I know the odor of burned M8V,that is something to remember, distant memorys come in to my mind when I first was the GAZ-51(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAZ-51) flathead R6 engine.

M8V Avtool oil today:

Gerd, since you have the head loose on that engine already and I also have your mailing address, I'm going to see if I can dig up a used Packard head gasket to mail to you to fit on that engine. I'm curious to know just how close the head is to fitting on a Packard and vice versa. I think one of those heads on a Packard straight eight would be hilarious!

Eric & Gerd,

Rather than go to the expense of shipping a gasket, a few discrete measurements of center-to-center stud distances should narrow down the interchange possibilities. I doubt whether rolling or folding a used gasket, to save postage costs in a smaller parcel, would be conducive to obtaining a good fit. That said, agree which studs would give meaningful comparison, then measure away. Also head length, width and depth would be interesting to know.
