SignUp Now!i run them, and i use it as directed.. my heads are oringed also.. and no problems so far..
Looking for experienced opinions on installation and reliability of Jason's Head Gasket kit.
Good gaskets but that "special" GE silicone is junk it is nothing more than window glazing, the container says not to be used for applications where submersion under water. Isn't a block filled with water?
I would use the gaskets but coat the with the "Right stuff" instead next time.
Just my humble opinion.
when you used cometics did u make sure the block was decked ? what problems did u have
they do work great.. Just sucks when ya have to take it apart to replace a piston that gave way instead of the gasket :biggrin: what a mess with all the silicone
I have used rjc gaskets for 21# boost and no problem. The only thing I don't like is you have to retorque the head bolts and that means removing headers which sux.
Get 2 heat guns for $40 total or less on sale. Then on the stand after heads are on just heat them up thru a few heat cycles & no headers involved.
No, don't use the silicone its not for automotive use.
33psi 110 octane minimum and 30gph alky injection. Car went 133+@ 28psi. Over 5 minutes of WOT at over 600whp. If anyone has a problem blowing these they have much bigger problems. Trying to duplicate the heat cycles of the engine with heat guns is not effective imo. The engine needs to be put under pressure and cooled over night before re-torque.
we have NEVER re-torqued the Cometics . Maybe thats why they work for us
Harbor Freight Tools, usually on sale for $7 or so. :biggrin:
Have you done this? Have heard about it but never done it. How hot do you try to get the engine, and is a high enough temp possible with the heat guns? I would guess you would want the motor to get to ~160 (normal op temp), right?
Oh no. Ive used it
So have I It's snake oil. Much better sealing products are out there. I know it supposed to be a big secret and he scratches the number off. But I looked it up under GE sealants MSDS and it is by no means in anyway designed to do, what we are asking it to do. Especially if you use the car regularly not just a track queen.
Like I said just my humble opinion people can use peanut butter on their gaskets I guess. Just don't use chunky. but then that's my opinion too.:biggrin:
