Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
Peter, I said I was THINKING. Then I remembered I had bought 2 because I thought the first time around It was the wrong bore size/gasket..turns out it was right, and I used that one..that was back with the scm61. I found this one, and thought..hmm..how could I make it better? I tried this idea, it must not have worked. Plain and simple.
Scheides, I don't even wanna know how many times you failed..how many HG's you gone through? I know your car needs a hg right now!

My car will never see a HG ever again 
But, when the head came off, I always used a NEW one, and was careful not to damage it

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
The thing that I ponder..is why is everyone on this felpro permatorque gasket bandwagon? Yea, it's a good gasket..good for it. What was everyone using BEFORE this came out? eh? And, did it not work for all the other DSMers out there for MANY MANY years? I guess marketing is really that powerful..

The permatorque gasket is a multi layer gasket just like the mitsu metal's but, mitsu metal's weren't made for 2.4lt guys. I had a commetic HP in my car (when I had my 2.4) with a 61 on it and blew the shit out of the gasket many time's. The other reason why thing's are so much better now are the head stud's are holding that head down much better then the standard old arp's ever did!

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
Scheides, I didn't think I could damage it by having it in the bottom of a drawer on my toolbox (literally bottom..I could show you the shit I found when I cleaned it out!). I am not saying that it was or wasn't the reason..could also been what I did to it with the washer incident. Who knows. All I know is it's time for a new one.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
+1 on the water pump, unless you didn't touch that? Still.
+2 or 3 on Mitsu MLS gasket. They're like $60.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
Swap out the gasket for another, un beaten, unsprayed gasket.
I am still curious on that. I guess if it isn't fixed with a hg, I'll do the water pump gasket..I know I should sometime do the o-ring on the water pipe as it's been a long time since it was replaced, and over winter when it's cold, it leaks. Seems to be fine now though. If it ain't broke..why fix it?

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
MAP doesn't have the MLS in stock, and even so, it's $130. It looks like I'll be going with the permatorque.

Get me a cost. Otherwise, I'll just do it through MAP.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
I wouldn't spray a headgasket period. Just make sure both surfaces are as clean as possible. If the gasket is gonna seal, it will seal.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
I am always a fan of that, and since it will be torn apart shortly, I just might do that water pipe o-ring.
