[urq] WX head build recommendations

[Brady Moffatt]

I have approximately 1 large hairy coconut burning a hole in my basket. More
may fall out of the tree depending on how excited I get.

Bummer about the 20V gasket. Do you know of a stronger alternative to the
stock WX gasket? The studs should help, but I'd rather have a good stronger
HG too.

Any idea where to source the valves?

Cheers, Brady

3B-AAN head gasket will not seal a WX head to the block. oil and coolant
leak city, not even using the "right stuff" could seal those holes. as for
the valves? bigger is better, how many coconuts do you have to spend?
   Best, Bill
