Default How many do you want......??

Hi Phil

After 65+ years your head would be cracked as well.....

I know I have some...... can't guarantee the condition but will inspect closely with my glass eye.....

Do you have a particular "cast" head number you are looking for.....??

I can take it across the border for shipping to keep cost down.... or meet you half way.

My experience with sludge in engines was far more spectacular. Sludge to me is a light greyish ash like residue that you could scrape off with a putty knife..... maybe the cold weather here made it worst..... but no amount of detergent oil could ever remove it.

On a late 56-57 390 Ford engine..... we tried to cleanup the sludge inside the valve covers and removed the pan to scrap out deposits..... we literally flushed the engine.... in the frame... with gasoline to remove all the sludge
... installed new gaskets on the pan and valve cover.... engine never ran properly again.... was ticking and slapping like crazy and smoked like crazy..... I think the sludge actually was keeping the engine from leaking so much......

Your engine in comparison is very clean for 65 years of straight weight oil.

Let me know if we can help you.

Bob
