Does anyone use these anymore?....

[Abodybomber]

Was down at the local speed shop. (Used to work for him,). He does a lot of B/RB and Chev Rat builds. Started digging in the back inventory room. Found a crusty Victor head set box. Had steel shim head gaskets,with 6 bolt holes per cylinder.Found a part number,crossed it. Pointed to 64/65 OEM Hemi steel shim head gaskets. Does anyone even use this stuff anymore?

Nothing wrong with old steel shim gaskets. Cork wil ldry and shrink, rubber might do the same depending. But the shim head gaskets are timeless unless they get bent or rust.

I've never seen cork head gaskets before.

But to Tim, I like the steel shim head gaskets. I always coat them with Copper Coat and of course, they have to be retorqued. They can stand lots of compression and can add compression when compered to other types of head gaskets.

So "an old Victor head set" doesn't include anything besides head gaskets? Gotcha... lol

Hell Moper,it's a 30 year old box,with the application marked for early 60's 361,lol. Hell the dust on the box,is twice as thick as the gaskets themselves.

I had the pleasure of "finding out what's in..." a small room adjacent to an upstairs parts room when I worked for the local plymouth dealership in the 90s. I can relate...lol. I found Studebaker packaging, R-12 1lbs cans, oil filters, Thermoquad small parts kit boxes (the big dealership ones, not carb kits), 426 Hemi parts (only a few rockers), etc. I made a deal with the owner and ended up buying and reselling a bunch of stuff from that set of shelves.

RRR - No changes in dosage.
