Head gaskets? 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Feled on  Tue Jul 1 20:32 CST 2008 [RELATED]

This car is in Australia where a local engine reconditioner did a lot with 140's even doing a crossflow head (not very sucessful). It could be one of their creations. It does accelerate very well but I suspect it will be a lot better with a good clean up. The bores are in very good shape.
I have not had a chance to clean it up yet but will be checking to see if does have hardened valve seats.

Thanks again to you all for your comments and advise
