    Ada Girdle Head Oring replacement

    If you are asking me, the Riva head's girdle bolts are different than the Ada head. The instructions say head bolts 11 then 22 ft lbs and 18 ft lbs for the girdle bolts.

    Check my thinking on a no cranking problem

    Your bendix could also be binding. The way to test the selenoid would be when it clicks and doesn't start then you would jump the selenoid leads or jump straight from the battery to the starter. If it turns the motor over, then it's the selenoid. If it doesn't it's the starter or bendix.
