Does anyone happen to have a set of fire rings that MACK made laying around? I regret never getting a set from him before he passed.

Use hylomar on the whole gasket, did that on my d19 diesel and never had a problem with it for the last couple years. ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

Did you use the spray? I’ve heard of it but usually use copper coat on head gaskets. ------------- ryan 1984 8070 FWA,1979 7060,1975 7040,1971 190,1960 D-17D,1957 D-14, 196? D-19G, 1975 5040,1971? 160,1994 R62 |

Yes I did, it’s like $40 bucks on Amazon for a 16oz can Here’s a link to where I got it.. https://www.amazon.com/Hylomar-HUBRA01-Polyurethane-Sealant-Aerosol/dp/B0086AJ75U" rel="nofollow - https://www.amazon.com/Hylomar-HUBRA01-Polyurethane-Sealant-Aerosol/dp/B0086AJ75U Another plus is you can supposedly reuse the gasket if you ever pull it off again. Haven’t had to pull the head I put it on again so I don’t know if that’s true. ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

I know he made them thicker than stock. But not sure what he made them of. ------------- ryan 1984 8070 FWA,1979 7060,1975 7040,1971 190,1960 D-17D,1957 D-14, 196? D-19G, 1975 5040,1971? 160,1994 R62 |

" I regret never getting a set from him before he passed.
" That makes two of us. Don't think I would reuse an old head gasket on a diesel... ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not. Trawler II says, "Remember that." |

Here is some of his own words… I’m not for sure if that’s what he made them all out of but we was dealing with a copper head gasket.  ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

Think we’re going to have to go this route. Have a wd45 diesel that can’t seem to keep her head down with ARP studs to boot. D-17d engine repower. |

For some reason he will want INSIDE diameter, then measure used compressed gasket, I think I went 40,000 thicker then the gasket. ------------- 2-8050 1-7080 6080 D-19 modelE & A 7040 R50 |
