Re: 1955 Fleetwin Exhaust Cover and Baffle

The diagram shows only one gasket and the parts listing only calls for one gasket. I’m fairly certain that the assembly on my motor had not been taken apart before, and I only found the one gasket on the powerhead side.

I like the Mumbles/Wedgie idea of another gasket between the baffle plate and the exhaust cover. Is there any problem with the alignment of the cooling ports on the cover side?

I don’t believe there is an alignment/cooling passage alignment issue with using two gaskets, but you had better look it over prior to final assembly.
And yes, the diagrams are correct, the engines were manufactured with only one gasket, so I’m sure your exhaust cover is original and un-molested.
