Changing my motor out after I overheated and spun a rod bearing while offroading. Wanted to re-gasket the new motor and your video is just perfect. You're a clean freak my guy I'm not sure if you've ever been told that. Good have you for reference, because I can't see anything past the grime and I don't want to miss anything. Thanks for the TLC
Very important to get a good thick bead on the chinna rails. Some gasket kits come with a rubber bridge for this area. FYI...I think my gap in this area was about 3/16", so you really need to get a good thick bead or else redo all your work after finding a huge oil leak.
Something I'm curious about, maybe you'll have thoughts on it...the pushrods on this motor are solid. Any chance the lifters would push oil upwards (like the old Chevys do) if you were to find a set of hollow pushrods? It'd eliminate the pushrod/rocker wear that's so common with these motors.
Bro mainly every time you take off n just fast foreword your flying through the parts that are needed to see in real time all the way through! Just a friendly comment. Ik you do it bc you think no one would wanna watch everything all the way through but for a fix like this I promise they will
I’m at the same point on my 94. Got my head surfaces clean and almost done with block surfaces. Same cylinder was filled with coolant luckily mine didn’t bend or break anything. What is the cooper stuff for? Do I have to use it or just use new gaskets as they are?
@@97warlockits to help the heat transfer from the block to the head's more evenly, its not necessary with today's modern head gaskets but it doesn't hurt anything, could keep certain gasket brands from sealing properly though. Check the info that comes with specific head gasket brand before installation.
I ripped my heads off a year ago an lost all my pics I took. This video helped me so much. Thank you
Doing this to an engine gives a sense of satisfatcion knowing quality & care was taken with each process, unlike mass marketed default stock engines.

Your the best friend to my dad
I did enjoy the lunch break. Grilled turkey sandwich

I have no idea if the lifters would work that way or it's the oil pressure would allow for it but nothing's impossible

No problem maybe one day I'll get someone to help me film
Did you do anything to the lifters? Is it possible to bleed them ?
Is soaked them in a bucket of oil and used a push rod to bleed them
which head gasket model no did you go with? also melling?
By any chance do remember the part number for the head gaskets? I've looked but cannot find specific number
It's in the description of one of the videos

Copper spray for a little added assurance
@@GibsonGarage I missed the purpose of the copper spray. Is it an adhesive or sealeant or preventative?

That is a push rod engine
Why is the lube used on the pushrods?
It's high pressure lube to keep bit from galling during the first startup
Where did you get the cylinder heads at?
They are the originals. I had them machined at a local shop
What did you use to clean the heads?
My hands
What injectors did you put in it?
stock
Way to difficult for the average Joe. And if one had time on his hands to do this.
Whats that copper spray? And why
Its a gasket sealer for better adhesion
Most head gasket manufacturers recommends no sealant
Remove valley pan cover
Shop said they’d do mine for $1500 out the door
