Looking for a oil tank for an 85-12f (5-quart)

Appreciate any info.

Looking for parts for my c85-12, need oil pump gears/cover, whats the
best place to start my search.....?

Sorry I have not replied sooner and I do appreciate the answers, I do have the Y pipes and a cooling tube was not installed to screens so that will be my first fix. I do not believe the temp. is high enough to harm the engine but anything over 200 has always been a source of alarm for me. Will let y...

Hi, hope someone can offer advice our 1946 champ with the 85-12 engine
