Description

When you’re rebuilding that trusty old Ford tractor engine or dealing with a blown head gasket, you need a replacement that’ll stand up to the heat and pressure just like the original. This all-metal head gasket is built specifically for the 4-cylinder gas 119.7 CID engines found in 2N, 9N, and 8N tractors from 1939 through 1952. No more worrying about composite gaskets failing when the engine gets hot during long days in the field.

What You’re Getting

All-metal construction that handles high temperatures and combustion pressures without failing
Precision-engineered to match original Ford specifications for proper compression sealing
Built to last through countless heat cycles and seasonal temperature changes
Direct replacement that installs just like the factory gasket with no modifications needed

Built for Real Farm Work

Your 9N, 2N, or 8N has been the workhorse of American farms for decades. Whether you’re using it for cultivating, hay work, or running a loader, that little flathead engine has proven itself time and again. This gasket is designed for tractors that actually work for a living, not show pieces that sit in barns.

Made to Last

Metal head gaskets were standard equipment on these engines from the factory because Ford knew they’d be working hard. Unlike modern composite gaskets that can fail from overheating, this all-metal design maintains its seal even when the engine runs hot during heavy work or hot summer days.

Good to Know

When installing, make sure both the head and block surfaces are clean and flat – any warping or debris will cause leaks. Torque the head bolts to spec in the proper sequence, and don’t forget to retorque after the first few hours of operation. If you’re doing a complete rebuild, this gasket pairs perfectly with sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings to get that old Ford running like new again.
