Hey everyone I know there is alot of talk about running liquid base gasket and thin head gaskets. I just went from my JE 406 to a 416ex. This time around I used 1104 Liquid Base Gasket and 1 layer of a steal head gasket (this is similar to how Mickey Dunlap builds his EX motors). I also lock-tighted the head studs and torqued them properly. Im running a 10.8:1 JE piston, CRF450 cam chain, stock cam, and 91 premium pump gas.
After a couple heat cycles I broke her in on the MX track friday, then raced saturday. She ran great with no leaks or any problems. Got 3rd on the holeshot out of 10 450 quads and 3rd overall. (Novice Class @ speedworld AZ)
So if anyone is leary about running lidquid base gasket and 1 layer steal head gasket.... It worked out great for me!! -Max
