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 |

I think the point here is: He has the engine apart.
Joe, I respect your opinion's on this stuff, but Bruce Anderson and his Jerry Woods connection have more engine experience than most of us on the forum put together. They build on average 10 engines a month for vintage racing and racers worldwide. Bruce doesnt pull this stuff out of thin air. He has been dealing with it for 40+ years. I'm going to tend to beleive what he has to say about ANY engine related topic. Most of the 3.2's I run across need top end rebuilds (or they where done recently. B |
