Awesome video but what did you use for silicone? And what tool did you use?

[@JunkyardJunkie]

I use this black gasket maker, called the right stuff. They have their own little caulk gun you can use I was actually using a Milwaukee electric caulk gun. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

You think I would need to send my heads off to get pressure checked or can I slap my new gaskets on without? And thanks for the video

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Personally I would. You already have all this work invested that’s the best thing to do in my opinion. I check the heads for warpage or unevenness with a straight edge in many different positions. If it looks good I lap Valves and check how well it holds. I’m glad my video was able to help. Best of luck. Thanks for watching!

So can you explain to me why the customer needed this engine work?
was it a blown gasket where the piston was?
what were the symptoms of leak?
i think i may have the same issue. i seen oil and gas on my spark plugs. Brand new plugs too.
iv been having rough idle, hard starts sometimes no starts, and IF i get the engine running and quickly press the pedal to rev the engine, rpms will drop and engine will misfire. i replaced so much until just today i seen oil in my intake manifold

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Ya they came to me with problems anytime giving it any throttle it would start misfiring. He also said he heard a terrible sound come out. So I checked compression had low compression. Then I proceeded to do a leak down test in this video: How to do a cylinder leak down test (EASY)

You should do that too and see if your rings are ok. Mine showed leaks on the exhaust valves. So I needed to pull it to resurface and reseat valves. I always replace the head gasket while I’m in there. But, let me know what you find out. Thanks for watching!

[@lewisvenable9904]

@@JunkyardJunkie thanks for the info! Thankfully for me, after taking the i take out, i seen oil inside the intake. my ocv valve works but theres a leak. So addiotional oil is getting through and soaking my plugs!

[@JunkyardJunkie]

That’s the best case from what you were telling me. So cool glad it’s an easy fix!
