first time portin...

No problem.

 

Good afternoon... Ok so I put the gasket on the head...and I can see all imperfections... Can I use the gasket like a guild...mark it and hog it out...or is that you was tellin me to do... Lol...I am a little slow...on the bur...what grit do I use to remove it...the bur looks like its a ways blow the opening...I think I would have to grind a was to get it all...thank you all fur your help....

 

You can take a sanding roll and smooth that out If it's too far down the bore. Just blend the edges where air can flow smoothly and stay right inside the gasket area.

 

Thank you fur your input....I will try...what grit should I use in the bur in the bore...thank you...

 

120 or so. Just make sure there's no high spots.

 

Thanks fur the input..this is the best I could do with the bur...given the tools and materials I have... It dosnt look smoth but it is...Thank you...

 

That should work. Make sure to put a bevel back on the bottom of the intake.

 

Thank you fur the input...I am starting that now...should I go from the bottom of the jug and get it that way or go in from the intake and bevel it like that...thank you...

 

I go from the bore.

 

Good job guys. You the man mike!

 

Thank you fur the in put...ok...this is what did, I sanded the bur,beveled the in intake...hopefully enough, hog out the intake and exhaust, left the intake rough and polished the exshaust... Not real well but better than it was, hog a little off the four corners of the base at the transfer port and smooth it up a little bit...at the transfer port in the center where the divider is...how much can I hog out there...thank fur all your help friends...I won't be able to work on this project fur a few days...

 

Smooth that divider some. Just don't go to knife edge thick. You can take too much out and lose velocity.

 

Good afternoon friends, so I did a little more hoggin out.can i do more hoggin in the corners. This is the saw I am putting the jug on.it is my 372 x-torq, I picked up 3 of thease 372s last year fur a hundred bucks. The x-torq didn't have any compression and I had to jb weld the dogs...the bolts had backed out and took the threads with them. I pulled the pisition and jug. Then replaced it with ...I think the 372xpw or the 372xp position and jug...can't remember... Lol...any who...I run that saw all last year and made alot of money chasin...will this kind of gasket material work fur pullin the head gasket. If I am done hoggin the jug..what do I use to clean it up with. I did a muffler mod and i hogged out the intake of the muffler to match the intake of the exhaust to match.AnyAny tips or words of wisdom...lol...thanks guys...

 

No. You want Dirko or yamabond or....I can't think of the permatex or loctite numbers. The other guys will know it. It won't be till I'm at the house to give the number of the permatex or loctite that I have?
