435D gasket set

[super bob]

Does anyone know where to find an engine gasket set for the 2-53 GM diesel engine in the 435. Thanks

If you are into that 2-53 there are several factory updates which will make it start easier, run better and reduce the risk of a run away.
There is an updated blower seal kit.
New valve springs for the cam followers, injector follower and valves.
The horrid S series pistons/sleeves have been updated to the 21 to 1 compression N series.
The S35 injectors were no prize either, replace with C35's. Don't go larger on the injectors unless the connecting rods are swapped for the units that spray cool the piston bottoms.
Check the crank for grooves under the oil seals. Often a "speedy sleeve" is required to true up the shaft.
As the 2-53 is considered obsolete in many dealer's books, just have them look up 4-53 parts.
