Viking Outboard Year and head gasket

[Force 120]

I have 12 Hp Viking outboard with model #12V16D.
What is the year of this motor and where I could find a head gasket for it?
It looks like early 1950's Evinrude or Johnson design motor.
Thanks a lot!!!

Re: Viking Outboard Year and head gasket

It is based on the Gale 12D16 circa 1957 Similar to the E/J 15 but
smaller bore and no roller bearings. 2 1/4" bore compared to the EJ 2 3/8".
Don't know if the E/J 15 head gasket will fit but for the bore.
You can buy head gasket material and make your own gasket.
Over at www.aomci.org they may be able to be more specific.
