76 Mack E9 head gasket!


Recommended Posts

I have a 76 Mack with a v8 ENDTB865, I blew a head gasket and can’t seem to find a part number, the nearest dealer is no help. Does anyone have a number or an idea? I figured I would also change the thermostat and I’ve been striking out there too, any info would be appreciated, I’m thinking the bad head gasket should solve my coolant system pressure issue

From what I’ve gathered, the 865 is the predecessor of the E9, would those gaskets and stat be the same? I called both Mack and watts, waiting to hear back, the Mack dealer sold me some gaskets for the E9-400, I’m hoping those will be the same, I should have them sometime next week

I ordered four 865/866 head gaskets for shop spares from the Mack dealer I use a bit less than a year ago. They were still supported at that time as were the upper and lower gaskets for the engine. Not much luck in the aftermarket for any parts for them any longer however.

Those numbers ring a bell for me. I have the upper set, (valve grinding) and lower set and all seals for a complete engine and four extra head gaskets for the same series. Those gasket sets were cheap in comparison to the custom made pistons and liners.....
