    once my head was so loose, it was riding fine, infact it was running quiet and well, but i kept feeling hot oil on my legs, the gap between the cylinder and head was so much i could see daylight,
    amazing it had compression to run.

    You can also use 8 mm couplers to add surface area for cooling.

    I would still recommend a thin copper head gasket from bike berry they withstand it better

    What color prematex can I use to use for a head gasket

    • @HughesMotorized
      @HughesMotorized  Рік тому +1

      dont. use stock gasket or copper. stock is fine as long as you don't overtighten

  • @jf4872

    Another tip....Lightly coat the aluminum gasket with copper RTV. Coat should be light enough to see thru. This will aid in the seal. The RTV will carbonize when heat hits it helping seal better.

    Sear/ Craftsman sells an affordable torque wrench. Under $20. 0 to 12 ft pounds. Perfect when you don't require a lot of torque.

    Hey I'm not sure why I have black oil leaking near the top of the head of the engine some one please help me it's a brand new engine and don't k ow what to do I keep burning my foot because of the oil while riding lol

      Same exact thing is happening to me
      I think it may be normal
      Maybe just burned up oil and its penetrating the head gasket
      After I noticed this I torqued my nuts down after the engine got mostly/completely cool
      Going to see if it leaks next time I ride

      @@vincent10717 yes I tried doing that but I still saw it leaking for some reason I'm going to open the top of my cylinder head and see if my gasket has a crack on it or if I stripped my nuts but I hope it's nothing major. Please let me know if torqing the nuts helped you fix the issue

    • @HughesMotorized

      Could be porosity in the head, a cracked head or a bad spark plug seal

      @@osmoz1179 Rode it a bit and I do notice a veryy small amount of oil leaking compared to more oil before I serviced the head. I think I just originally didn't tighten the head bolts enough. It's way better than overtightening though, I will say that. Before I retightened late yesterday, I was even leaking out of the spark plug. So far there is no more leaking there (torqued the plug down with about 9ft-lbs using a torque wrench).
      Also, if you want to tighten anything you probably already know this but just be cautious so you don't strip the studs. Use a small ratchet to tighten the nuts on the head and I found that using a torque wrench for the spark plug worked (but start with very low torque and work your way up).
