copper spray
ok, im on head gasket #4! a diesel mechanic told me it bc i used copper spray on it.... any thoughts?:argh::pca1:
|
What's your reasoning for the copper spray?! Your basically making a double gasket and easy to blow.
|
Also if your on number 4 has the head and block been checked with a straight edge and feeler gauges to see if it's warped?
|
head and block ar good to go.... i was told to use copper spray....
|
do you have studs? are you torquing everything down correctly and in the correct order? are you putting your brand new HG through a lot of boost/drive pressure?
|
new head bolts, 35 lbs max boost, in correct order..... 125 ft lbs
|
ok idk much about this copper spray stuff but i would stay away from it. if you are on your forth HG and you used the stuff every time then logically i would think that it is making weak spots where there should be solid gasket which will get ruined easier.
|
no copper spray on the gasket, its got silicone on the gasket so theres no need 2 spray it. have the head decked
|
i just had the head decked again, ill try it with no copper spray.... does everyone use the stock torque precedure or should i got to 125 ft lbs. is it best to run it a while then go back and retorque it or just let it go? also if i do go back and retorque it do i have to reset my valve lash?
|
stock bolts go 90ft lb + 90 degrees. u should put headstuds in if u have the funds. check the valve lash when u retorque. what r u cleaning the block with? 3m makes these little plastic brush things that go in a air grinder that wont take metal off but cleans very well. go to a fastenal or an auto parts store and get 1. heres wat they look like
