Mr. KA-39, Nice looking motor! Wish my fuel tank
looked like yours. I found the timing marks you
mention. Thanks for mentioning them. With the
plug holes 90 degrees to the cylinder, I couldn’t
use my TDC gauge and buzz box method anyway.
Cylinder painted up a while ago, and made
the gasket for it. The original was only .010
thick. Best I could come up with was some
heavy kraft / masking paper at .008 thick.
My thinnest gasket material is .015.
Will coat it with some grease and hope for the
best. 😉
Prepare to be boarded!
