im getting ready to go thru my 5hp flathead. the goal is to remove govenor, install arc rod, maybe some new valve springs. thats it for now. in the future id like to keep going and do a cam, lifters, flywheel, etc, but for now i'm just keeping it simple and cheaper.. I am going to a float type carb so the engine will fit in my old minibike frame, thats why im loosing the gove and putting in a rod for the time being.
anyway, on to the questions. where is a good place to get gaskets? OldMiniBikes has the rod but no gaskets. i looked at turk bros and they have a coupe options on the side cover gasket, one is thinner. does it matter? also they state all their stuff is for a raptor. my engine isnt a raptor, do all the parts interchange? mainly i am asking about the side cover gasket, head gasket, and the valve window.
ideally id like to pick up a copper head gasket, side cover gasket, valve window gasket, arc rod, maybe some valve springs, all at one place. point me in the right direction please.
also any ill affects of slipping in .030 copper head gasket in there for good measure?
