i know, just what you all wanna hear about.... ive searched but looking for more info before i go with hd studs
i havent had a head gasket last me more than a month with my 426 and 11:1
the last one i put on i made sure to torque it to spec and it actually leaked the second i started it, tightened it more and it stil leaks.
its getting pretty bad now, you know, when you can hear the compression spraying out :rolleyes:
all the head gaskets ive used have seemed to be for the stock size bore, even the one that came in the kit, could that be it? im about to order a cometic big bore gasket kit and im wondering if theres something else i should try before studs or what, i dont wanna blow a 4th head gasket :mad:
one more thing i recently thought of is that the bottom most engine mounting bolt has been missing since i got my quad and whenever i put the top end back together i have to pry the motor to get the top bolt to line up... i know :eek2:
but could that cause my ****tt to tweak and blow gaskets?
oh yea and i had been running 93 before but now i run a mix of race gas
