'48 Jeep CJ-2A - A Comedy Of Errors
Homefree, right? Wrong. Apparently, the engine was decked and bored, and the new ROL gasket was punched with the stud holes just slightly off. When the head was torqued down and the engine fired, I was greeted with the sound of a thousand tiny hammers smacking away at an anvil. The 0.060-inch larger pistons now come beyond the top of the block and hit the edges of the stock-bore-sized gasket. I ordered a vintage NOS head gasket from Peter DeBella Jeep Parts to fix the problem.
