The Model A Copper Head Gasket (A-6051-C) is a premium replacement cylinder head gasket for 1928-1931 Ford Model A engines.
Unlike older-style copper gaskets that use a softer white filler material, this gasket features a modern high-density grey core, providing improved strength, better sealing performance and greater durability under normal operating conditions.
Designed to create a reliable seal between the engine block and cylinder head, the gasket helps maintain cylinder compression while preventing coolant and combustion gas leaks. It is suitable for complete engine rebuilds, cylinder head replacement and routine engine servicing.
For best results, always ensure both mating surfaces are clean and flat, follow the correct tightening sequence, and re-torque the cylinder head after the engine has reached operating temperature and cooled, following normal Model A service procedures.
Manufactured in the USA to suit original specifications and supplied by Snyder's Antique Auto Parts.
Fits Ford Model A (1928-1931)
Premium copper construction
Modern high-density grey core
Improved sealing performance over older filler materials
Helps maintain cylinder compression
Ideal for engine rebuilds and head replacement
USA made
For the best sealing performance and long gasket life:
Ensure the cylinder head and engine block are clean, flat and free of old gasket material.
Position the gasket correctly before installing the cylinder head.
Tighten the cylinder head nuts using the correct Model A tightening sequence.
Tighten the head in several gradual stages rather than bringing each nut to full torque at once.
Final tightening torque: 55 ft-lbs (75 Nm).
After the engine has completed its first full heat cycle and cooled completely, re-check the head nut torque using the same tightening sequence.
Following these steps helps ensure an even gasket seal and reduces the likelihood of future leaks.
