      All,

      I just thought I’d pass along this tidbit for you W58 owners.
      In preparation for tearing my engine apart, I was able to ascertain that the W58 was, with caveats, a Perkins 4.154. That knowledge led me to:
      Parts4Engines
      The upper gasket kit cost me $75 including 2-day shipping from the UK. Yes, actual 2-day! Incredible service.
      That kit had ALMOST all the gaskets but the thermostat gasket is not correct. But you can hand cut one of those from sheet material.
      I had to supplement with the following from Torrreson for $30 total:
      Gasket, Fresh Water Connector, 24763
      Gasket, Exhaust Flange 31204
      Gasket, Exchanger, 31291

      So…an ENTIRE upper gasket kit, great quality, including valve seals and injector washers/seals for $105. That’s $14 less than Torreson sells the head gasket.

      YMMV, though, so do the homework. 🙂

      Evan
