Where to buy
Head Gaskets
Intake & Exhaust Valves
Valve Springs
If you are looking for a head gasket for your old engine I do not carry them, I would recommend contacting Starbolt Engine Supplies, or Flywheel Supply. If you would like to make your own head or igniter gasket for a better price i recommend using a ball pein hammer to cut it out on your head. The material I recommend is the interface MP-15 item number 1255 from flywheel supply. It’s plyable and easy to cut as well as holds up for long life. If you have some imperfections to seal as well coat the gasket with Permatex “Indian Head Shellac” item number 20539, this can be found at napa or other local auto parts shops that carry permatex brand.

If you are needing an intake or exhaust valve for your engine, I do not carry just valves alone they are in a cylinder head when they come to me and its easier to sell a head with valves in it. I suggest going to your local engine machining shop and having them match up a new modern valve, your antique engine doesn't use a special proprietary valve, I've had a Allis Chalmers diesel engine valve matched close enough to work. You can either drill your valve guide for a thicker stem, or drill and install a guide bushing to tighten up play. then the seats can be ground to match the new valve. Starbolt engine supplies or flywheel supply do offer some valves but you will still want to tighten things up to match the rings.
Piston Rings
Wristpin and bushing for connecting rod

If you are looking for piston rings for your old engine I do not carry them, I would recommend contacting Starbolt Engine Supplies, or Flywheel Supply. You will just need to know the diameter of your cylinder, and then you will also need to know the width of the ring land of the piston to get a set of rings. Some engines doubled up 2 x 1/8" wide piston rings to fulfill a 1/4" ring gap, you can just go to 1 x 1/4" ring to replace it.

If you have your old wrist pin you can have a new one made by anyone with a lathe and Bridgeport type mill. They are NOT hardened, they're standard round stock steel, you can use cold roll if it makes you feel better. The bushing is usually just a brass bushing that can be drilled/pressed out and a new one pressed in to tighten back up to standard size.

There are machine shops around that will pour new bearings to match your crankshaft size. The one I use most local to me is Harts Machine Service in Cecil Ohio. You can also source the materials and pour them yourself if you're feeling up to that.
