Vito's 2mil head gasket

[mikechief]

cool ... makes sence . yamabond is almost as tough as o-rings .... a lot cheaper too

WOW i would NEVER install the gasket thats NEW out of the package with any kind of sealer. for those that obviously DONT KNOW the gasket is a steel stamping with a raised ridge when you TQ it down the ridge press out flat and seals against the head of course after you remove it its flat and wont seal very well. its basically 2 oem gaskets with a spacer inbetween them.

 

these are JUST like 4 stroke gaskets. and a LOT of automotive gaskets are the same way..

 

if your too cheap to buy the gasket new when you redo the head sell the bike and go sit on the couch.

 

NOW are we talking about the HEAD GASKET +2MM for using the stock head on 4 mill

 

OR the +2 mm BASE gasket spacer for the same thing that makes them run all stupid.??

 

the spacer on the bottom AND directelly to the case, cyl CAN be yamabonded and work fine if your going to say BS on that one the case halves are the same way.. its a low comp seal and needs a semi hardening sealer. to get the cyl low enough in the past i have done it from screwed up porting BUT i dont do it very often.

hehe i was up all night working and posted that..

 

basically...

 

use a NEW head gasket for good sealing

 

base is best with a gasket, ( i prefer AFM cometic or other metal type base)

 

if absolutely necessary you CAN install base with yamabond.. depends on motor.
