Bobcat M500 eng identification and parts

[Kish500]

I just bought a M500 last month, and I'm halfway through the rebuild, but now I'm tryin to find basic parts for the engine like a gasket kit and I'm having issues. First question is the engine type. I know it's Kholar K662, but I guess there is a set of 5 or more numbers after that. I can't find a tag on the engine that says the whole number so I can try to order these head gaskets from this site. They look right, but I have to make sure of the exact eng type. Can anyone tell me what this secret eng spec number is for the 1964 M500 Bobcat, and where can I get eng parts? She runs good, but there is some blue smoke, and I'm afraid it's the rings. That and the last owner put 2coils on it, because the distributor cap is missing. I would like to replace that as well if anyone has one. Thank you for any help. Mark

Couple of options, you can go to Bobcat Parts Online and get the Bobcat p/n and Google that for equivalent vendor items.
The facebook group Melroe Owners of America deals extensively with these old clutch drive machines and probably has all the info on hand.
