Breathing new life into the 318 in the Scamp!

Dave,
The fel-pro gaskets, just spray the new ones.

I was taught this trick by my buddy 20 years ago, he still is a mechainic for chrysler.
2.2 dodge motors with heads leaking coolent, he would lift the head, not tacking them all the way off, slide out the old gasket, slide a new gasket coated with permatex copper in.
He worked flat rate and he said only 1 out of 10 would come back that actually had a crack.
