Riley 2 or 4 Port Head Gasket

[Dave in Denver]

I thought in the past I read or heard somewhere that there was aman from Washington State who was making copper clad gaskets for Riley Two Prt and Riley 4 Port applications. I just can't recal who he may be, Might anybody on this thread know where to get a Riley OHV head gasket that is not either solid copper or drabula based with copper sheeting folded around the perimeter of each cylinder area? Thanks,

Dave

I believe the term is fire rings. You might try BEST Gasket or Taylor engineering. Both are located in so Ca. I have bought both 2 and 4 port head gaskets from them for original riley heads. C Yapp 2 port heads take a slightly different gasket due to small change in the combustion chamber shape or location. I too remember an article with 2 or 3 sources for riley gaskets and one was in Wa or Or

Last one, I found a head gasket for my Model T 4 valve Rajo. Great to deal with.
