***You could try Dale Cooper at www.hudsonmotorcarco.com otherwise it's no

big deal to buy a sheet of rubberised cork material and make a gasket

yourself.

****Do you mean the string packing up each side of the bearing caps? Dale

Cooper has this I'm sure. There is a felt seal in the timing case, but no

seal at the rear, just a slinger and drain channel.



> 3. The crank bearings should be 0.00015 clearance, I'll set those with

> platigage. Should the connecting rods be the same clearance?



***Yes, but you have an extra zero in your clearance - pretty difficult to

measure in ten-thousands of an inch!
