RE: need your guys help

No gasket sealent this time lol, and nope it was an anthena gasket but i didnt do something right when i put it back on, so if someone can give me a good rundown on what i should do and what i should tourque it up to ect and how many heat cycles i should do

wait a sec ,before u do it up ,just double check the "up" marker/tab on the gasket can be read from above confuse (silly i know but its easy to do )

when you tighten the bolts just use your fingers first in a diagonal pattern so the head sits flat to the bore ,then continue to tighten in the same pattern but count ..2 full turns..same pattern ...1.5 full turns on each bolt in turn till they have the same tension all round "you can feel it nip up then then just spread the load

the tourque wrench youll need is a small "low tuorque" one coz its not that tight coz its ally, machine mart have the exact one you need for £35 and u will use it on everything

Thanks and boxing its only the head gasket not piston so should i still do heat cycles ?

yeah man its standard on anything that expands,do your warm up and check your gasket over for external leaks,if all is well then once cool tourque it down again..do this after you push it further into the temp gauge aswell and it will stick like shizz and stop your head from warping as easy aswel smile
