What head gasket for reassembly?
Installing compression releases, and I am not sure what head gasket to use. The motor has 10:1 compression, 98CI, carbureted.

You should do some headwork while you're at it.

I would like to, however, the local place I spoke with told me 4 - 5 weeks before they could get to it. That's a long time. I dunno...

Some porters, like Scott/Hillside or Kirby/VeeTwin will work with customers on an exchange basis. You get the heads, pay a core charge which is refunded when the porter receives your heads in good condition.
