jacob80 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hey guys, just a quick question. I know the service manual says not to use sealant, but does this apply to the Kameari head gasket? I ask this because we put it on once and had to pull of the head again and am making sure that we can or cannot possibly because we used a little copper spray on the gasket. If not, can the gasket be cleaned with laquer thinner? I tried it a little bit and the copper crap comes right off but take the dark color of the gasket off and reveals shininess. Is this ok? Thanks!

The dark color on the gasket is a very thin rubber coating that is supposed to seal without the use of the copper spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I usually use a very small dab on that small joint where the front cover meets the block because many people don't take off the front cover and I've seen a few where the front cover gasket is a couple of millimeters short of flush with the deck.

Raami Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I have cleaned every cap of the layers and then used the copper gasket spray. That is the best way I tell you. I drilled those rivets off and take those layers apart from each other. Then when I have sprayed that copper then just put those layers one by one in place. No need to put those layers together by rivets anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
