Changfa Engines / 195 vs 1100 head gaskets
« on: January 14, 2012, 01:34:53 AM »
Hello. I was given a Changchai s1100nm for a potential rebuild. Unknown running condition. I pulled the head off and cleaned the rust that was in the cylinder sleeve so it now turns over freely. I need to replace the head gasket but I have not yet found a source in the US. Actually I did find one at Hardy however the price is more than if I imported it myself so that option is out for the time being. I have read here that the same gasket was used for the 195 engine depending on the cylinder sleeve configuration -either stepped or flush. I do know the sleeve on the 1100 is flush with the block. Is there a part number difference for the 195 engine for the 2 head gaskets? Maybe I will have better luck searching for a 195 gasket than I have had for the 1100. I have the spare parts kit but no unfortunately head gasket. If anyone is interested in pictures while this is apart I'd be glad to post 'em.
