Default RE: Head Gaskets/Shims for Pee Wee .020

Red Baron Mike,

I can see how using a die punch set would let them cut out a clean shim, but how in the dickens do you suppose they could then fish the gasket out of the die in a mass production environment? Then think of doing this with head gaskets for the .010 Tee Dee! I wonder if Cox ever made a documentary about their engine production technique's? Is there anything left of the LM Cox company that might still be contacted?

No Dickeybird, I don't think they had thousands of little elves running around picking out the gaskets.....
