I don't know what kind of "disks" you guys have, But I'll make the same
offer, but for free. Send me a "SASE", and I will send you a "Heat Disk" at
no charge.
    Almost every good re-builder will use these to protect them selves from
an argument over, did it overheat or not. The disks I use melt out at 250',
I yellow glue one to each head, and one to the case near the oil cooler
mount. I have only had one set (both heads) melt out in eleven years.
Customer later admitted his fan belt had broken, and he only drove it a "few
blocks" when the engine seized. Pistons/rings fried!
    Any way send me an envelope and I'll produce one for all to see. For
that matter, if you like I can send pictures and part number.
