iron genoa P60 Thanks to all. Got the valve spring compressor at Sears & worked fine. Took a while to get the broken valve stem out. Managed not to lose any parts except 1 valve spring retainer. My replacement valve kit does not include this. Suggest any sources?

field of dreams Loren, Boat still in the backyard. Most of the work is done. Valve job next on the Palmer 60. Got a valve kit from Yesterdays Tractor and a copper head gasket from overseas. Any idea how to get the valves out- separating the valve stem/ spring from the valve retainer?

Furling genoa wanted for 1975 Ericson 32, max. 36'10" luft, #6 or #7 tape. Also mainsail cover for 13' boom. 909-981-7217

The P60 is a flat head similar to the Atomic 4 and a marinized version of the International Harvestor Cub tractor engine. I removed the head. The pistons and valves are in the block.

I have a 1975 E32 with a Palmer P60 that requires a valve job. Can this be done in place?

I am still looking for main & head sails, 6 lengths of Hood Sea-Furl 2 foils, dinette table, cushions, floor boards and misc. mahogany trim/plywood for this renovation project. Bill Beatty, Upland,CA

I am looking for a dinette table (less base), a set of interior cushions and a mainsail & jib, all in good condition. Bill Beatty, Upland, CA bilcan1@verizon.net
