We used to spray the tanks in early Porsche 911s with Wurth SKS, which is similar to bed liner. It is done more for abrasion resistance than...

Van Pelt still sells the worm gear. I heat it up with an induction heater and pop it off with a gear puller using a big washer on top of the gear...
Contact Steve Serr for the gasket and a set of his ARP head studs for the Cragar head.
That's probably the old Continental Diesel thrust washer that was commonly used before the AER stuff came along. I'm away from the shop right now...
