Paul,

Thanks for the information! I will go with the 'regular' gaskets for my
Eldo. I have to say, the Eldo motor is really a pleasure to work on.
Can't wait to get all my parts and start putting everything back
together.

That head gasket refers to the later motor like a T3. Their pushrods
were
moved further away from the cylinders to allow for larger displacements
like
the V1000. If you used the stock Eldorado head gasket on a T3, the
pushrods
would rub against the gasket and wear them down.

Do I need to use the 'new type' gasket for cylinders using oval push rod

tubes, for these cylinders? When I pulled the cylinders apart they had
the regular head gaskets with the round pushrod holes..
