Ahoy Matey's,
I am attempting to restore the old motor that has been sitting for 4 1/2 years. Been having problems with water not getting to the thermostat. I will post another thread on that progress (dropped lower end and checked impeller, all good, flywheel shear key good).
My immediate problem:
In checking the thermostat, I had to remove the cylinder head cover to access it. The cylinder head came off with it (no problem). Head gasket in good shape.
Good news is that the thermostat tested good.
Bad news is that in the parts diagram listed on this site, there is no gasket shown between the head cover (#68) and the cylinder head (#72). Guess what, there is one and needless to say, needs to be replaced.
How am I supposed to find a replacement if the diagrams don't even show one?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
