Good call, yellow Exterior Surface Painter's Tape works well for that and is available at US hardware stores. Don't leave it on longer than a week, though. :)
good night , i have a ford , year 29 i live in Campinas SP Brazil i have a problem , water passed into the engine through the inlet valve of the fourth cylinder , the gasket is not burnt , i can not know how this water passed i have already removed the valve and i didn't see any cracks, can you give me any tips
That particular valve seat had come loose, which was what led me to do the teardown on this engine in the first place. I had it replaced, and the guy who did it used a punch to peen the surrounding block material into the new seat insert to help hold it in place. I've heard others say this isn't necessary, but that's the way he did it. Hasn't hurt anything so far. That entire area is inside the combustion chamber, so it doesn't affect the head gasket seal.
Excellent video. You’ve covered this procedure throughly and it’s a step that is oftentimes overlooked when putting and engine back together. Thanks!
Tape cylinders & other openings to seal.

What's with the center punching around the valve seat with one being really close to the rim
