This head needed to be rebuilt so a new gasket kitfrom Wilcox Crittenden was ordered and installed. In addition the connecting rod was cracked and needed to replaced. This was done last season but the unit needed a repainting from the years of neglect and leaks. This unit is very sturdy, all cast bronze and very easy to work on.
I completed the head reconditioning. I used an Epoxy Appliance paint from Rust-oleum. It was very easy to brush on and produced a nice smooth finish. I will see how it holds up.
