Casper ... 1957 TR3, 87mm pistons/liners, D cam, roller rockers,
headers ... and Then !!!

Three blown head gaskets in 18 months ...

     I used special new nuts from BF&E that were 50% thicker than original.
Ken Gillanders claimed they prevent torque changing which causes blown head
gaskets. I bet your problem is studs & nuts.

     Bill in Tehachapi
     Still trying to get that center bolts out of the windshield bracket...
