Re: Beginning a CD-12 adventure

Thanks, Aquasonic.

Yep, I compared a lot of part numbers between the heads but failed to look at an obvious one. The bottom gasket is different between them, so it looks like the ’56 head does me almost no good.

I have a CD-11 in addition to the CD-12 and the ’56 red head. The CD-11 only has one working piston, the other doesn’t move when the crankshaft rotates. Maybe I’ll have to tear down both green heads and try to build one good one from them. I’m afraid of that option, though, for two reasons. I am thinking that the gaskets and other replacement parts will cost more than possibly buying a good green head and I will be on a 100% learning curve.

Is making one decent head out of two donors something that a newby should attempt?
