head easy to warp when undoing them


Recommended Posts

On other heads I think it's possible. However these heads are not torqued down as hard as a lot of cylinder heads are on other motors. I really don't think you'll hurt it by loostening it in the wrong order or no order at all.

 

 

Now tightening it down you could mess up the gasket sealing if you torque it down wrong.

hmm ok one of the cylinders is pretty cactus anyway, like leaves or something found it way into one filling it 1/4 with crusty stuff. now its got a bit of rust and is hard to turn the crank when that cylinder has its piston not at the top or at the bottom of the stroke. oh well i am just practising for my working motor. yeh i believe this ones head gaskets let go before it was left in a field as the mating surfaces where all dirty.

not till i get a straight head :P. yeh it wasnot my fault cause there was "blow-by", think thats it anyway, between the cycinders on that head. So it was obvisouly running for little while with the warped head before I had my way with it.
