Hi,

I recently swapped heads on my 72 142s and used a headgasket that I had briefly installed on my 144s (after torquing down head, ended up busting an exhaust manifold stud---head had to come back off), and of course I have some weeping of oil on the outside...probably some coolant leaking somewhere as well but I can't spot any. So I know I shouldn't have used the "used" gasket, and my reward is doing the head again....what fun.

Basically, anyone around me (norwich, ct) have an extra new head gasket? I'd love to do this on sat morning and I won't be receiving my gasket set from Swedish Treasures till monday.

I'm a bit hessitant to go to Napa because their screw up rate is up there. FCP didn't have any in stock and the price was about $46 (ouch---my entire top end set from swedish treasures cost $49 w/ shipping).

I haven't called autopart int'l, but will give them a shot.

But I'm throwing it out here.
