When I do the cork valve cover gaskets I stick them to the valve cover with Hy-tack and then put grease or anti-sieze on the other side so it does not stick to the head. Makes it really easy to pull the cover to retorque the head.

@jiveturkey9993 5 жыл бұрын

I didn't think about putting grease on the one side. Thanks for that.

@TheFridge 5 жыл бұрын

I have been known to replace the cork with silicon. Little grease on the rocker cover, run a bead of schmoo, little oil on the head, plop the cover on and let it set. Once it is set, pull it off to check you dont have wayward silicon, then screw it down tight. Presto, one reusable silicon gasket that (almost always) never leaks!

LandRoverLife This is also the best thing to do if you have taken it for a swim and it stalls, don’t turn it over, Jack it up, put it in 4th gear and remove the glow plugs or injectors depending on which is easiest to remove and watch the water squirt out 😂😂. Learnt that from a friend of mine with a Land Rover. It still ran fine after too.

The Sharpie marker for the head bolts is a great tip. For those of us who don't film while working, some Sharpie markers in different colors can come in handy. You can use a different color for each step of the torque sequence. So even if you step away from the job, you can easily tell where you left off.

One thing my dad showed me was paint the cork gasket (rattle can works fine) than the oil can't soak thru the gasket yet it still crushes fine. The pained gasket keeps the oil in the engine rather than out side, where it can do more good. Keeps the engine looking cleaner longer too which makes it look good for the customer.

As mentioned below, alway check the relivant workshop manual regarding lubricating cylinder head studs prior to torqueing, it can lead to over torqueing if the manual specifies a dry fit. Some engines also require new studs to be fitted when the head is removed.

Anti seize is king on earthmoving, since working with the stuff I've learnt anti seize paste ( copper grade etc ) is the go on all your external threaded fasteners, pins, circlip grooves etc unless spec not to do so. Also a bit on those injectors helps them come out again. Temp rating is usually sufficient.

Rich my local race engine shop said you check push roods on a pain of glass a steel work bench will always have waves in it. All flat glass windows are made perfectly flat so you do not get distortion viewing through them if the glas is bent well... it brakes lol

@jaredanthony8070 5 жыл бұрын

Glass is always a bit of a fluid. Over years glass will sag, droop or flow downward so if you put a pane of glass over two saw horses the glass will arch. Apply heat and it happens much quicker. But in terms of checking pushrods if you roll them you can normally catch pretty minute bends relatively easily just by rolling it around only by eye

I had a Valve Cover Gasket on an AMC I6 (Plastic Cover) kick my butt at wanting to leak, mostly because it had very few bolts. So a trick I learned is I made some wire clips that kinda looked like your average household staple, for a desktop stapler…anyway, they hold the gasket from moving around during installation, and maybe I was a little RTV happy…but try it…they work really well! - My dad who worked at Ford came up with the idea back in the 70’s when trying to put Valve Cover Gaskets on LARGE V8’s in the Mustang Chassis.

@prototype3a 5 жыл бұрын

I used to calibrate torque wrenches. Accurate range is considered to be 20% to 90% of full scale. As you say, the micrometer setting wrenches are generally good for a long time so long as you back them off. Dial type torque wrenches need to be regularly calibrated and need to be babied. Dropping them, hitting them, generally almost any abuse can knock them out of calibration.

@hodwooker5584 2 жыл бұрын

Very good explanation of how to treat a torque wrench! I also used to calibrate torque wrenches for the US Air Force. We noticed that many of the wrench’s that were out of spec came from the same work centers. When we investigated why those specific work centers had so many failures it was because of the wrench’s being backed off to the end stop before storage. Never back off a torque wrench past the minimum marked value!

@pooh143luv Жыл бұрын

Fyi better to find out the specs for those injector bolts because on a 6 cylinder that i had worked on it will do small cracks on the head if thighten to much but again even with the cracks it wont effect the engine because of the locations of the cracks thank you been with you since day ☝️
