There are better, modern head gaskets available from a SS member. Can't think of his name but I'm sure someone will post it shortly or you can do a search.
I took my truck in person and explained what I had done. None of the three agents with whom I met had ANY problems with the truck. The county office had NO problem with it; they only care if you add an axle.
So, you are claiming that there is DOT language specifically indicating this? Care to post a link? A previous post indicated that there is 7k lbs on the front axle. My bobbed deuce weights 10k; therefore, there is 3k on the rear axle. Run the math on the remaining capacity for the rear axle.
Let me know if I've got it right:
The Dorman Part #'s are
555-012 (3/4" x 0.25”), Intake side of head, three per head
555-018 (1" x 0.26”), Front and back of head, two per head
555-024 (1 1/4" x 0.28”), Under rocker arms, three per head
555-069 (2” x 0.42”), block, five total
I believe most turbine blades are Inconel 713C which works up to 1800°F (http://www.nickelinstitute.org/~/media/Files/TechnicalLiterature/Alloy713C_337_.ashx). I think that you are in danger of melting the other parts of the engine first.
I don't think anyone suggested that the multi should be operated without a thermostat; only that the idea that water can move too fast to cool is false.
