BruceS. said: (quoted from post at 14:59:10 01/21/10) Interesting. Thanks for that info. I have the CNH so called "paper" gasket, but am no where close to installing it. Does CNH also supply the metal gaskets, or would I need to find another supplier?
No idea about CNH. It's my understanding nobody makes the original style anymore.
You guys think MD parts are spendy, try it for the 18s. We thought we had a great source, and then people started popping up with their stories. A lot of disappointments. All of my old gaskets are Victor, with a Victor part number and an IH number, both stamped topside. FP Smith probably has some, but might have to be crossed to the TD6.
In all fairness, I haven't used the gaskets on a size 6 machine. They might be okay. But what we found for the crawlers was that somebody took a template and cut gaskets from a modern material, trying to match the crush thickness. It doesn't work out the same, although they had good intentions. (The guy making/selling them "after market" joined in and we had some good conversation.) Great guy and all, but this engine isn't built like a typical cheapo gas engine and the gasket material is special. Metal clad asbestos based gasket stock isn't available anymore, and that makes it difficult to duplicate.
