When I rebuilt my 100 motor last summer both the block and head were planed
smooth by the machine shop. I re-used the studs and bolts, I did add
Permatex copper head gasket sealant, as I did when I pulled the head a few
years back just the check things out. No head gasket problems either time,
although I did get a little weeping out the side after I removed it the
first time years ago.
No internal leaks either time. Even with the higher compression to M spec
after the rebuild. Don't know if the copper spray helps, or I was just
lucky.
Seems like I read of an Australian source for the steal gaskets for a lot
less ($100 or maybe it was $200, but definitely much less than $350)
Patrick Q do you have any information on the Aussie head gaskets???
