After about 10 years of trying I finley convincied neighbor to sell the OC-4 that has been in shed for 30+years,
Got it home and discovered the valves are stuck open so will need to do a valve job on it.
Ordered gaskets from Zimmerman. as soon as they come I will remove head and see what it looks like.
Will post what I find and how thungs go.

I would think it wise to open it up before ordering parts. I have heard alot of stories of motors with stuck valves that with a little TLC they free up and everything else is fine. The last one I opened up thinking I only needed a valve job ended up needing a complete motor rebuild, so you never know what you are going to need until you open it up
