That side cover and side cover gasket doesnt appear to fit properly. Also the gasket surface on the head is a mess. You should have cleaned all that up to a shine before assembling the engine. Now if you do take 5 minutes to clean it up all the dust from cleaning it will fall into the cylinder.

yeah tyler the surface is fine i wire brushed it when the block was stripped the gasket fits fine and everything you says is boring will enyone else responed to this thread im getting tired ofjust tyler

Wire Brushed A Gasket Surface!?

 

[mini bike man]

yeah with a dremel

You want it to be as smooth as possible, i was thinking you ment bench grider wire wheel. Anyways, i would go over it with some very very fine sandpaper to smooth it out.

Do you got beef with tyler or something?

 

[ed1380]

the wire brush wheel method works pretty dam good. especially removing old gasket

If you dont take any of anyones conciderations one little bit then STOP asking noob questions! I'm just trying to point something out. The gasket surface looks ok most of the place's but theres a little bit of dots from the old gasket on there. And if that's too boring for you then sorry, but I dont tell interesting bed time storys ok?

i dont have beef with tyler and the gasket surface will be fine those spots are salt water marks the engine was used on a fram for some kind salt the engine had salt sitting in radom places its a good thing i rebuilt it first. thanks all and as soon as my head gasket comes in i will have pics

 

[jr dragster T]

Cool, So I guess the previous owner like took it apart half way then stopped then the salt got inbetween the head gasket and the block and made a few marks.

 

[mini bike man]

yep

 

[jr dragster T]

Ok it should be fine.

 

[mini bike man]

[jr dragster T]

I love pix of the GX internals... I haven't had any of mine aprt yet, (no reason to) but the curiosity is satisfied when someone else does it. Thanks for the pix, and it'll be interesting to see how this turns out!
