Title: C15 Head Washer
Post by: Blackthou on 23 May, 2020, 15:15
Hi,
Rebuilding head on 1960 C15. The washers under the 4 head nuts are copper. Is that right as I thought they'd relax?
Thanks
Rick

Hi Rick,
           They should be steel 3/8" x 3/4" 2.75mm thick. This thickness will spread the load reducing the chance of the gaskets leaking.

Best wishes...

Magic. Thanks Bess and appreciate the quick reply. Didn't think it was right.
