cometic head gaskets

Jim Bailey · 06-21-2017, 04:22 PM

I have a simple practice that I use with MLS gaskets. The problem is with the stretch of the fastener. I use plenty of copper coat ( like a whole can on two gaskets). After the head is torked on, I let it set 24 hours. Then, "one at a time", I untork the fastener and re tork it to spec with one pull on the tork wrench. I've actually had motors stop weeping, doing this on the dyno. Right or wrong....works for me.
