Dans Head gasket installation

[dan filipi]

This is the procedure I take when installing a head gasket.

In this video the head is already off.
Timing belt installation is not part of this video.

Length is 27 minutes.

These video tutorials Dan is making as he rebuilds his bike are really helpful. I don't really visited any other GW sites except NAGF, and I've never seen anything this informative. When he's done it's really going to set this site apart.

Nice video thanks Dan. I've got a torque wrench just like that I bought back in the 70s to torque the head on my GMC truck, and it still works great.

Yeah I once had a decent quality ratchet torque wrench I spent boookoo bucks on and it snapped inside when torquing head bolts on my van.
When it snapped I about killed myself with all the torque I was pulling on it. It was like the reverse rotation of a ratchet in the "neutral" position kicked in and just spun.
My brother cut that thing in half to make sure nobody ever uses it again lol.
