BeeCanBanshee Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 Trying to figure out what I need. I have found info on the web on how to measure but there seems to be always someone saying there way is wrong and will jack up the motor. I have a fresh base gasket that came with my gasket set can I measure it before install then pit it together and put a straight edge on top of the cylinders put the pistons at TDC and use a deeper gauge to see what my clearnce is? If not how do I figure it out. Also how cam I tell if my cylinders have been decked or not. Thanks. I'm also running a cool head. Stock stroke and bore. Quote
VoOK Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 If you have a stock head I'm pretty sure you should use a .030 gasket and torque to spec Quote
VoOK Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 Sorry, missed where you mentioned cool head.....I still think its .030 Quote
Jereme6655 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 vook.....his title says base gasket....not head gasket. Quote
BeeCanBanshee Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Posted March 5, 2013 So what do you recommend? Quote
VoOK Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 I assumed he meant the gasket that sits between the bottom of the cylinder and the top of the case. I'm sorry, I am dyslexic at times. Quote
