| I am running a Enya SS50 Engine in my Sceadu. During an inspection I found that the cylinder head attachment screws were loose. Further investigation revealed that the head gasket was deformed and no longer able to seat properly. My engine diagram shows no head gasket for the SS50 and gives no part number. I called Altech this morning and was told that the SS50 didn't need a head gasket. The agent then told me that the head gaskets they, Altech, received for the SS50 didn't fit correctly. The woman then told me that she would need to talk to one of their experienced engine people, but they were at TOC and some show and unavailable. She said she would call me back with more info. So far, I haven't heard anything. Does anybody know the low-down on whether I should run this Enya SS50 without a head gasket? Did you switch to a cooler glow plug?
Any help is appreciated,
