immorion Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I snapped some pics of my block after 'prepping' it for head gasket and head (fresh from Dan's Cylinder Head Co.). I'm ready to slap this baby back together, but as its my first time, I'd like to be validated... Please peek at these pics and point out anything I'm missing..... Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstone Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Did you finish reticulating the splines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 That looks great. I always go over the gasket surfaces with a clean shop towel (the blue paper one's) and lacquer thinner and allow to dry immediately before gasket installation.

Rpm90001 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I also Agree also on the lacquer thinner. What did you use to clean the surface? The picture shows a lot of scratches, sandpaper marks? Looks nice and clean. I spent what seems like hrs cleaning mine. I used a green scotch bright soaked I wd-40 and plastic razor blades then lacquer thinner before assembly. Clean is the key!
