  • how I prepare head gasket surfaces. I use razor blades to scrap old gasket off and a Norton stone to help level everything out before installing a new gasket.

    Hi, did this method hold a head gasket? I have been trying to get my deck surface completely clean for a long time now and it seems neverending.

    Is that an Aluminium block or iron? I'm doing a head gasket & I think the block has low spots, especially in the thinner sections between cylinders. I don't see any indicator spots on the block that tell me the maximum amount of material I can remove.
    What's the maximum amount of material you can take off t eh block before it becomes too much?

    • @thomasbeyer
      @thomasbeyer  Před rokem +1

      Iron. I wouldn't do anymore than I did. The stone will show you if you have low spots but if you really try and remove material it would be almost impossible to keep it flat. If it's real bad it may need decked at a machine shop. I didn't go past the factory machining marks.

    What about the grit and filings getting on the rings?

    • @thomasbeyer
      @thomasbeyer  Před rokem +1

      Blow gun around the pistons. It's not much different then when scraping gaskets and getting the old carbon off of the pistons. When your done roll the engine around and the ATF or whatever you use will kind of hold the grit and dirt to the bore and just roll it around wiping and blow it off real good when your done. It'll be fine.

    What type of head gasket did you have on that blew? Was it an MLS gasket or regular, fiber type one?

    • @thomasbeyer
      @thomasbeyer  Před 2 lety +2

      IV blown both. Regular fiber was the last one it blew to the valley. MLS blew between the cylinders after it got a little hot once.

      Son you have to get that a lot smoother for the MLS! It will blow every time in between the cylinder walls like that

    You have to get that a lot smoother for an MLS! It will blow over time in between the cylinder walls like you left it

    How long should I do this process for on each side?

    • @thomasbeyer
      @thomasbeyer  Před rokem +1

      I probably only spent 30 minutes of actual working total including cleanup. I wouldn't go too far once you've seen and addressed if there are any highspots you don't really want to go past the factory machining marks.

    A carbide superscraper does way better than any razor blade. Just have to be careful not to gouge with it.
