    I am trying to source copper head gaskets for my Jern Thunderbolt OHV setup. Anybody have on any suggestions on where to look?
    CALTEK is stamped on both gaskets along with the following Part #s ACH-1 and AFH-1.

    Thanks in advance

    If anybody runs into a similar issue I found Olson's Gaskets in Washington. They are able to make me new gaskets if I mail them my old ones.

    I was just going to recommend them. They're the best and great to deal with.

    Im hoping they live up to their reputation and reviews. They should have received the gaskets today. Hopefully they will have them heading back to me by weeks end.

    Runs out well. Pretty quick for a banger.

    Figure I'd update this post some in case there happens to be anybody else out there with one of these setups. Sure seems there arent any though!

    Olson's gasket didnt fit well and I ended up not using it. I went with Steve Serr at Hi-Speed heads for the lower gasket, which worked out great. He was really helpful with other questions I had. Highly recommend going throuigh him for banger speed parts. The upper gasket I went with Clark Copper Gaskets in Minnesota. Gasket fits great. Quick turn around for a one off gasket.

    Did you get your money back from Olsons?

    I didn’t ask for a refund.
