Remember, they have the paper cardboard gaskets for these! Or you can use a one time only metal crush gasket. I use permatex aviation sealer, use what you feel is best. I forgot to show it in the video
Great tips and good to see you using the paper gaskets and not the metal ones.
Good video, Slade. I use the metal gaskets at the heads, however (they transfer heat better), but the paper works. Also, I wonder if tightening the center manifold nut is a good idea before installing the heat exchanger and muffler, since those heat riser ends can be a bitch to line up with the muffler flanges sometimes. Waiting to tighten the center manifold nut and manifold boots gives you wiggle room when installing the heat riser flanges to the muffler flanges.
I like your idea of keeping the carb/manifold flange level, too. I never gave that much thought (just lucky, I guess).
VW friend of mine said to put a light skim coat of grease on the intake manifold gaskets so they dont stick to the metal and you dont have to scrape em off each time. Great vid the engine looks like it will be gem!
Looking good bub! Did you delete your Facebook
i was telling the screen, get that red boot on there! of course, it wasn't going to matter because you ultimately went with the black boots.
you should put a level on it!
You make it look so easy. I have to put stuff on and take it back off too many times. Great video!
Good stuff, thanks for doing the video. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks so much for making this! So no gasket between the case and the alternator stand?
Awesome job keep up the great work I hope I can Make it to 1k subscribers subscribers but 1 subscriber at a time
