Re: ****** engine question
> Thousands more live on as forklift engines.
Continental built many, Graham used Continentals along with a lot of others.
I have 4 uncracked Contiental 6 heads in the garage, one is aluminum. The
straight eight was more prone to cracks in the deck than the head.
Back on topic, a 4 cyl flatthead should take about 15 minutes to remove.
Once you have each head nut about flush with the top of the threads, wd-40
the studs and lightly tap each sideways front and side, to free them in the
bores to help get the head up over them, then finish removing the nuts.
Never re-use a head gasket, even the solid copper kind.

Re: ****** engine question
I used to reuse flat head sandwich type gaskets used in the fifties
all the time, just let them soak in the bath tub to swell first.
