Wills Rings and associated head gaskets

Post by David Morris »

Hi there,

Does anyone know where there are any Jowett Wills Rings, as used to seal the liners in the final versions of the Javelin and Jupiter engines?

I have tried JCS and they drew a blank in the depths of their stores, so I am looking for someone who has a set or knows who might have some?

I would also like to know how the cylinder head gasket was modified for these engines? Were there special head gaskets prepared and if so, does anyone know where there is a source? Any advice would be most appreciated.

All the best,

David

When I worked in the stores they did have some of the rubber rings used for sealing. But they were not listed in the index. I could probably direct someone to where they were.
