Title: Head Gasket
Post by: andut on June 10, 2015, 08:42:49 AM
Morning All,

My 400 engine rebuild is finally getting close to completion - looking forward to hearing it run again !

Having reassembled the head, I unpacked the head gasket from the gasket set to find a small dent on upper surface of the #2 cyl fire ring.  It's a small ripple in the metal, and I'm wondering if I should write it off, or if it will be Ok when torqued down ?

Any thoughts please ?

Andy

.......... and I thought you guys were supposed to be good .....  :)

Did attempt a photo this morning, but only had a small compact camera to hand, and it didn't show the dent very well, so thought I'd ask anyway.  Given the lack of working crystal balls this morning, I will endeavor to get a decent image up this afternoon for your kind perusal and advice.

In the mean time, I hope you balls start working soon Bitsa.
