I found the oil pan gasket set at Olson's Gaskets in Washington. The gentleman at Olson's Gaskets said he also can get a complete overhaul gasket set for the 196 which includes the oil pan gaskets from a company in California. He was aware that Felpro sometimes deletes portions of gasket sets with little or no notice. He has experienced the same issue with industrial engine gasket sets. Anyway, the oil pan gaskets should be on their way Wednesday. I stopped by the machine shop and the machinist was working on the head. He plans to resurface it because it is slightly warped and he had already relined the valve guides with new brass liners because the previous machine work was poor. The valves are re-usable. The guys at the machine shop had never heard of Johnson Bearings. These guys have been in business for years, so Johnson Bronze must have gone out of business years ago or they could have been an obscure brand.
