Re: Stainless Steel Bolts/Nuts For mounting waterjacket/sidepods plus gaskets
on the water jacket cover i used alot becauseits a big open space and corrosion was eating my sides and around spark plugs so bad something had to be done :/<br /><br />But the side pod covers (exuast port) I didn't even use that much.. i covered my finger in it and slimed it all around the gaskets evenly like nothing even squished out when i torqued.. Clean as a whistle<br /><br />You should have seen the chucnks of corrosion i had in the motor before.. Then i had in some places only 1mm of clearance to the peehole.. Now even if a chunk breaks off it will come out <br /><br />I aint an auto mechanic .. I aint a mechanic at all but in all of these ports only water flows and nothing else and the corrosion everywhere got under the gasket so i really had to seal them good and a thin sealer and i destroyed 2 gaskets in the process ($70 in australia) wouldn't work because i tried and it sprung leaks eveerywhere<br /><br />I should be fine right??
