an incorrectly installed Head gasket? I was talking with the PO's of my B recently, and we got onto the subject of how the B vapor locks after driving for a while. They mentioned to me that they've had the problem with the car ever since they had the head worked on, and that no one they've taken the car to has been able to figure it out. They also told me where the soft fuel line that's routed from the tank to the carb (not in use) came from. They installed the soft line because they thought the vapor locking might be because of a blockage in the hardline, but using the soft line did not change anything for them.
What I'm wondering now is: How much coolant circulation will an incorrectly installed head gasket block? OR possibly, would a head from an earlier car not disipate heat correctly for a later car?
I have to wonder these things, because I clearly recall that there was a mix of "incorrect" parts on the rocker assy when I rebuilt it last year...
