jug/head gasket

[5iveguy]

It appears i have a blowen head gasket and with this i have a question or 2.
what is the torque spec on the head bolts?
copper or paper gasket?

[DIMBLEWAMBiE]

i beleive the torque is around 8ft lbs but 95% of the guys just tighten as much as possible. id go with the paper gasket or the reinforced gasket

SS reinforced gasket bolts torqued to 70-75 inch pounds.

Yes that's the one you want and just don't over torque the head bolts.

[XREDRACERX]

If it's a stock 2 bolt?

[5iveguy]

i ordered both the copper and the graphite plus a set of the metric hex drivers for my new 12 volt Milwaukee impact love this thing and it was just 99 at homedepot

I'd use a good sealant like ultra copper or yamabond if you install the copper gasket the SS reinforced doesn't need anything.

Work complete installed new head gasket ported and polished the case and matched the head to the case I didn't remove to much material just smoothed things out. As i feel more confortable ill play with the timeing but the motor fired right up carb adjusted. Now I just have to wait to get out of work sleep a little and complete the break in process
