Also on my rounds today was a stop to lend a hand with a young fellows 66'
Sprite. It was thought that he had a carb problem but by the time I arrived it
had been determined that he currently had a 2 cylinder engine. So off came the
head to discover that the head gasket was blown out between numbers 1 and 2
cylinders. Now comes the real question, the engine was recently rebuilt and
only has a 150 mile, what would cause a blow out of almost on inch of head
gasket? I know it has been discussed in recent times about what is the best
head gasket but my being mobile sort of limits what and how much data I can
keep or access. It would be nice if I could make a good suggestion before they
just order one from the usual source.
