My Son is tired of the E65 and wants a Mac now.
I'll need at least 3 MC-10 head gaskets. If nobody has them, I'm going to have some made.

Re: Need MC-10 head gaskets
Hey, Terry. I had to have a special thickness gasket made for my 101. Terry Ives made it for me. (916)201-7707. If worst comes to worst, I can make a Pro/Engineer file for you and you can get them water jet cut. You'd need to send me an old gasket so I can get the numbers. Ron Cubel might have some, but you'd have to wait until next week for him to get back home. Ted

Re: Need MC-10 head gaskets
Ted,
I think I asked Ron a while back and he didn't have any to spare.
I may try a local waterjet guy for a prototype for the sake of convenience.
If he doesn't do a good job, I'll be ringing your phone!

Terry,
Try www.kartsandparts.ca/ & then scroll to McCulloch vintage kart engines and parts. I've bought gaskets from them for my Mc6 and 49 projects and they were OK.

Re: Need MC-10 head gaskets
Terry, any decent water jet shop should be able to cut the gaskets. What they want is a good .DXF CAD file to work from. TJ

Re: Need MC-10 head gaskets
Dick,
Thanks, but unfortunately the MC-10 gaskets from www.kartsandparts.ca are not correct. He made the piston cut-out the same size as MC-6 which will not allow the MC-10 head to seal correctly. The 'sealing ridge' on the MC-10 head is different.

Re: Need MC-10 head gaskets
hi Terry,
i believe we talked at tbo.
at least i think so i bought some alcohol from you.
anyway what sealing ridge are you refering to?
i know some mccullochs have a raised section on the head that can be a real pain.
on the mc10's heads i have i don't recall that feature but maybe i'm mistaken or there's two kinds of head.
if there's two kinds which may be the case i have a few extra without the ridge if you need one.
the reason i'm sure those gaskets work is because Scott just built a mc10 overbore using those same gaskets.
the mc10 is .070 over and ported it's a real screamer.
he's also building 5 mc10 clones right now and using the same gaskets.
second possibility is that the wrong gaskets were sent to you.
on all this i could be wrong but if it helps you get that motor going i'll risk being wrong.

Re: Need MC-10 head gaskets
Dave,
If you look at a 51224 head, you should see a raised sealing ridge that is approximately 2.235" diameter.
The head gasket for an MC-10 has a cut-out for the piston/cylinder that is no more tha 2.160" diameter.
That gives the head a .0375 "crush ring" all around the gasket.
The MC-6 head and gasket are different in both dimensions.
