Re: head gaskets

That would be right. The comen one is L18 but some guys are trying L16 parts to find they rev harder to a higher Rpm as well. Remember this as the crank and rods are now worth good money. it was only a few years ago I threw away about 50 L16,18,20B engines,if only I knew then Malcolm FJ510 wrote:  funny you should mention the rods. i dealt with a guy who does nothing but cranks and blocks.strokes v8's and all the rest, grinds cranks, blah blah blah all the rods he had on his shelf were L-series nissan rods,he has them machined to suit the different cranks but usesthem on all his stroked Chev's and Windsors and Clevelandsyou name it... says they're unbreakable.   ----- Original Message ----- From: maldat To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 4:16 PM Subject: Re: head gaskets  They put L18 and L16 crank and rods into 1500,1600OHC ford Kent engines.
