mfg Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Not all engine gaskets will interchange between the R2 and the R3 Avanti engines. Having said that, 'R3 only' gaskets always had to be ordered individually......they were never found packed into a regular Studebaker V8 overhaul gasket set......True?
Gunslinger Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 There was a separate gasket set for R3/R4 engines, so true...they wouldn't have been found packed into a standard V8 set. Specific gaskets could have been ordered individually as well. 10.25:1 and 9:1 engines had specific gasket sets as well.
mfg Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Posted July 31, 2014 The answer is actually False......For years 'Fel-Pro' complete overhaul gasket sets for the '51-'64 Studebaker car and truck V8 (and '57-'58 Packard) included the big R3 intake manifold gaskets....Don't ask me why....but they did!
64Avanti Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 The Fel-pro set never included the head gaskets which were unique to the R3/R4 engines. Anyway the answer is True.
