    engine gasket replace

    I have a low mile '78 that runs pretty good. The gaskets are original and a little leaky. I want to go through and replace with a kit. What would be the best resource for me to look at for this? Thanks

    Gaskets and Glue?

    After researching for more than an hour I have given up. Do I use sealer on my versah gaskets for the top end or not? Which sealer? and where do I apply it? This is my first rebuild and I have no experience with any of the sealers. There seems to be a bunch of different opinions on this topic so...

    Gasket Cleanup - When is it "good enough?"

    Hey All - I'm doing a top end job and I have been cleaning up the remnants of the old gaskets with some WD40 to soften them up and then a gentle scraping with a blade. I don't want any leaks when I put the engine back together, but I also don't want to scrape too much and end up ruining the...

    rebuild tips

    I'm on the verge of rebuilding my 80xs. It has 8k miles that I know of. It runs rough, has probably had gas(from the faulty petcock) seep into the engine. Not to mention on the engine, which I think has thinned the oil on the chain making it seem like I have an oil leak. Anyway, I am really...

    Is this a crazy idea? Dangerous? Or frugal?

    So I have some leaking out of the front master cylinder resevoir and I see that it is coming from the cap. I have nice SS lines and I bled the brakes and all (This is on a 77 by the way) and I do not see that I can order JUST the rubber gasket for the cap. I can order it for the 78-94s, but not...
