want to o-ring my head myself

[swankmetal]

anybody know where to get the parts? which i guess would just be the rings, huh? i'm wanting to do the machining myself. my buddy is a cnc guy and is willing to help me out. called pdr today and talked to mark, he said that they don't sell separately. who else can i try?



thanks

Just one man's humble opinion... . you are CRAZY to try this yourself.



I guarantee you that Piers messed up a few heads getting it right. I highly doubt that you guys are going to get the program right the FIRST time.

swankmetal Dave,

Can't be rocket science if you can get the machining done and can get the parts.

Can't help you more than lend moral support!!

mike o, you aren't the first. but so far, i've done all the work myself and i would like to continue that trend. i've got a pretty unique fab shop, and my buddy is an extremely talented machinist.



j, thanks.



now i just need to get the part # for a marine headgasket. anybody?

If you want to 0-ring it yourself, give me a call and I'll tell you what spec's to set it up for. Don't know why Mark said we would not sell you the parts, it's just high quaility piano wire & we gots lots in stock. The dimensions & torque procedure are the critical pieces.

thanks! i will give you a call tomorrow as i'm sure you're not in the shop today.

Swankmetal-

As far as I know, all the head gaskets are marine, or marine duty. Guess that makes production easier- have just one line of gaskets. Someone correct me if I am wrong, and they have a seperate line of marine duty HGs.



Cummins P/Ns as of summer 03 are- stock thickness:3283335; . 010" over-3283337; . 020" over-3283339

Daniel is correct, those are the Cummins part numbers for the good head gaskets
