Does anyone have a photo or a pattern of a Gallivan head gasket? When I purchased "The Flying Dutchman" Gallivan powered 1915 model t roadster I got several new overhead gaskets but not sure if they are for the Gallivan.
A photo, or drawing would be very helpful. Also have a couple of questions regarding oil pressure and routing of oil lines.
thnx

I would think that all overhead's would take the same gasket.
The gasket doesn't know if the head has rocker arms or cams!

Re: Gallivan Head Gasket
Pete is absolutely correct. However, I suspect that your concern is that the combustion chamber is an odd shape and so requiring a special gasket, as is the case with a Roof 16 Model C. I would suspect that the Gallivan has a round combustion chamber. There is a lot more room for those giant valves when they are presented at an angle rather than straight down like a typical overhead. Isn’t there is a pic of the Gallivan combustion chamber in the Speed and Sport book…?

Re: Gallivan Head Gasket
The ad in Speed and Sport shows a round chamber.
