My D420 seems OK with head gasket. Sticky valves maybe not seating properly, now cleaned up. Just discovered no fuel to the injector. Suspect blocked filter element. Where can I get a replacement?

What makes you suspect the head gasket?
However, you could maybe make your own from annealed copper or aluminium sheet - or have a look at BGA RPK1 Gasket Material.

The gasket is a stamped stainless steel with a groove around the outer edge in the stamping. Very thin. When running, a fine mist blows out from between the cooling fins. It does not smoke, so the rings are OK. Next stage is to check the valves.
