Head gasket on 440

[ridered440]

Just wondering if anyone with 440 motor is having problems with there head gasket going bad. I have tried every kind of gasket and none work. If so what have you done to fix it.

Use an oem honda steel one made for the 89mm piston. Duncan racing sells them for $30, it will take care of your blown head gasket problem. Also make sure you torque the head to the oem specifications. Too tight or lose and it will blow.

replacing mine right now, however, i bought a 400ex with the head gasket blown, so i hope it isnt a big problem. You might make sure your sleeve and your cylinder line up completely, if it isnt that would be your problem
