Greg,

You will need to use the T3 head and base gaskets. The pushrod holes in the
jugs will also need to be reamed out so your pushrods don't come in contact
with the sides. The gaskets on the T series have oval holes for the pushrods
whereas the Loop type are just round. If you don't do the mods then the
pushrods will wear out rubbing against the gaskets and the Ambo pushrod
tubes. I believe Guzziology tells you about it also.

Paul

Perhaps just a set of T3 head gaskets? Seems to be a different part number
than the Ambo/Eldo head gaskets. I probably just need to call Rick and
Gordon and see what they have to say.

I picked up a set of T3 heads that I'm going to be putting on the
Ambassador. The heads came complete with rockers, pushrods, etc. Can I
just swap things out or is there more to it than that? Do I need to
address anything with the push rod tubes or gaskets?
