Ordered New James Gasket set for it today at the Jebby Shack in Ephrata, Pa

Not the 9$ set from JP but I don't want to tear them down again within a short period.

the Pit in the photo is actually gummed up oil.

Thanks for the suggestions on the hex nuts, mine have a relief slit on one of the flats on each one.
