hi,
I'm getting my 3.2 freshened. the 3.2's have no head gaskets. my machinist recomended machining the cylinders so that C2 type gaskets could be used. At first I thought ok, but later reconsidered because I dont recall head leaks to be a problem with 3.2's. I just took apart 2 3.2's - both had top ends done at some point in their lives and neither had this mod done. Anyone have knowledge of this? tia Bryan |

The head gasket was a running change on the C2 (964), and IME, the earlier engines all need the mod the first time they come apart. Leaks are absolutely epidemic on that engine. I had a long discussion a year or so ago with Bruce Anderson about the head gaskets and the studs. Most of the in-the-know people are putting the old style steel head studs in their street rebuilds along with the head gasket mod. Tha Cap'n
