Need advise for my A

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Just need a little advise, after 5 or more years, I finally got around to checking out a problem on my A, it had a miss......pulled the valve cover off the front head, and the exhaust valve on #2 cylinder was stuck open. The worst I feared happened, I tapped the valve with a hammer, nothing...a little harder, it just kept going down, so am I gonna have to pull the head off now to unstick it?  And if I do, can I reuse the head gasket? I already had the heads off once before, and I always though you weren't supposed to use them again. I'm not sure who has gaskets for the A's anymore, It will be nice to have that A running again, so I can start doing stuff with it. I was hoping to have had it ready for the Half Century Show to pull my New Idea #6 picker, but that's not gonna happen. Hope to see some of you all come to the show.....A week and a half, Lord willing, I'll be there with my D-17 and WC to pick!

	Norm Meinert has new head gaskets and he will be at Rantoul. Should be a great show. Edited by Rfdeere - 14 Aug 2011 at 1:42am
