Terry:
There is a head gasket on eBay right now. Not sure which engine you have. if you have the correct gasket number, take a look at 320229799083 Has one more day to run.
Quite often there are Durant 6 cyl gaskets on eBay, but you must know the gasket number you need for cross reference.

Thank you Gord I have looked at that one and emailed the seller and it is not 60thou over It is a standard one I have got onto a guy over in New Zealand and he may be able to help me here's hoping. Durant parts are a little hard to get over here. I think we may need a visit to the state to have a look around and send back what ever we find.

Terry,

When last I spoke to Olson Gaskets, they told me that if they don't have it, they can make it.

Hi Rick i have sent them an email with all the info and hopefully they can help thank you for your help regards terry

I didn't know that gaskets came in oversize. I can understand undersize to get more compression, but never heard of oversize.
What is the reason for a thicker gasket?

Gord,
I haven't heard of it either.....but I was thinking the .060 related to the bore not thickness. I don't think the pistons reach above the deck at TDC. Do they?

Dave

Dave:
No. The pistons either come almost to the deck or close to it. You can put pistons in that come just a little above the deck as there is some room in the combustion chamber, but you must measure closely. If you have shaved too much off the head, you reduce your measurement here.
I was under the impression that the 60 thou over was just the oversize diameter of the pistons, but you can always learn something new.

Correct me if I am wrong. This would be a 28-29 Durant model 60 with a 2 3/4 bore? Egge has a head gasket in stock, part number E614C. Normally the older NOS head gaskets were always made bigger to allow for an over bore of at least .060. The head gasket we have in stock measures 2.960 which is plenty big on the diameter.

Hi Jim,

The 14L engine in the 1929 model 60 had a 2 7/8” bore that produced 185 cubic inches. This was also true for the 15L motor. The 1926-28 14L engine had a smaller 2 ¾“ bore that made 165 cubic inches. 2.960 is should work fine.

Hi Everyone Well I think I have had some luck I have found a feoolw in New Zealand who makes hgaskets for almost anything he is sending me a nead gasket to try and if that fits and works we will be in action again these gaskets are made from a new material I am not sure what but am told they are the bees knees. They are not expensive at all I understand that thye will be brillant on the car and also have a warranty I will let you know what they are like when it arrives Anyone who needs any info email me and i will help in ant way I can Thank you for all your emails and best wishes Terry
