OKAY! 
Look at THIS: (it's for an engine that is descended from our engines
)
http://www.cometic.com/generateImage.as ... /C5957.gif
Wait a minute I thought that Cometic wasn't going to make a gasket for our engines and I know that the image at the link above is not specifically for our Ford small sixes but it looks eerily familiar, no? the bore is actually a little smaller than it should be for a 250 (I got 3.66") but the bore spacing and bolt pattern LOOKS correct. Ofcourse the coolant passages are all wrong and their are no provisions for our lifter bores being on the driver side of the block but LOOK!
It literally looks like it has all the same holes punched into it until you get to the back part which looks like it's widened to accept an OHC timing chain cover!
This motor is actually descended from our motors here isn't it?
I say we start a Harassment campaign to keep calling them until they give in to our demands!!!!!!!!!!!
I just find it absurd that they can make the claim that the market isn't "big enough" to offer gaskets for our American small sixes and then turn around and offer the product we've been requesting for our niche to a niche half a world away
No Offense intended to out in-liner brethren Down Under.
Keep Sixn'

So what your saying is that we all need to pony up and buy as many as we can of the Aluminum Valve covers, oil caps, and LOTS of gaskets ?
