Just did a little video using my gopro camera I will use to video tape the removal of my intake gasket later this week!!


Any tips and tricks to make this job go smooth and be a sucess!!!!

 

When you do something like that, set your gopro to take a picture every XX seconds instead of videoing it. It doesn't take up as much memory and accomplishes the same thing, documenting your job. I documented my entire restoration with a gopro and ended up with something like 6,000 pictures. I posted the relevant pictures in my build (link in signature) but I have a picture diary on my computer...

 

Ya I might try that...... Any tips or info when replAcing a intake gasket..... I see some videos online they don't use the rubber end gaskets........ And some using scilicone around the coolant ports before they install the gasket

 

I use the "Rocket " intake gasket #404 and throw away the the rubber seals. I use the silicone sealer on the ends. I put a thin layer of silicone on the gasket so as to glue them to the heads, let set up. Then another thin layer on the face of the gasket and a 1/4 inch thick bead on the front and rear rail, get the intake ready to go. If you have the aluminum intake, try to hold it up and set it down in one motion. If you are using the cast iron intake, may want to use a hoist, or a couple of people to help. But for the most part, you need to set it down in one motion. Good Luck,
