    Hi Sammy. Good to hear from you. I know you have meet a lot of people over the years, but to jog your memory, here's a few pics. See if you remember the Checkmate and me. Meeting at Kmart for Detroit River run. That Sunday, you wanted to pull 4-5 skiers with an 80HP Checkmate for a boat show...

    Thanks. I really enjoy it. Just after I bought it, I took it back to the Checkmate factory, when they were doing restorations. They redid the wood in the hull, and the upholstery. I had to have the Checkmate horse on the back of the seats! LOL. It took a year and a half, but finally got it back...

    2.4 Head Gaskets

    I have searched the Scream and Fly forums, and they are all for the 2.5. Not a specific answer on the 2.4. Guess I will have to post the question. (not a member is why have not posted there). Thanks.

    2.4 Head Gaskets

    I have a '79 200 HP 2.4. Checked compression. Right bank 120. Left bank 130. Different head gasket thickness. .040 vs .050 (aka 1.0 vs 1.2mm). I can find 1.0 mm T for the 2.5, but not the 2.4. So, can I use a 2.5 gasket on the 2.4. Or, is there a 1.0 for the 2.4 I haven't found? Have not pulled...
