So the jeep has suffered a dropped valve seat. I dig into the spare engine (blown HG) to steal that cyl head. Its distorted between the cyls to let a .0025" feeler gauge pass under it.
Is this realistically going to seal with a new HG? Any HG's better than others? (Most are mls 3 layer steel). One buddy said to spray the gasket with copper hi-tack and send it.
I'd like a fresh head, but i cant afford the downtime at this juncture. I'd rather have this run a few more months while i assemble a more long-term engine.
Opinions?
