If you have a flat plate of steel glue some 220 on it and resurface your head, and block to perfection. Go slow and measure every 30 seconds or less of precise sanding. I should say I’m a machinist and this is the final step to achieve the correct surface ra anyways just with a machine surface grinder, it takes along time to do but it will work and run great, some of the logging equipment and my own Subaru sti have received this treatment and I’ve never lost a head gasket ever. Just rods through the block
You mentioned what not to use to clean the block, but you don't say or show how you recommend or did the block cleaning/prep. Would you be willing to share with the class?
Greg, I'll have to watch again but did you put this head on the black dually too? I have an 18 Dually and want to build it out very similar to this truck and the black dually. It'll be a daily driver and tow my 5th wheel a few times a year. Thanks for the info, love the channel man great content.
I use the smaller grit pads for cleaning off the old head gasket material but im not throwing sparks or digging into it. You just got to be smart about it to not cause issues
No grit or Scotch Bright...the plastic bristle discs are the best...they do not remove any metal material from the block or head and if any parts come off which they normally don't..It's very easy to see them on a piston or in the head
I’ve seen someone use a wire cup on an air drill to clean a block deck at a shop I was interviewed at, I ended up going my separate way long story short.
Flat is flat I’ve seen my great grandpa resurface a 65 Chevy 327 pickup set of heads on his special concrete section of shop with the flattest part of the floor. With some wd40 precision straight edge cast iron and or granit slab table and dial indicator on a fixture I’ve seen people ruin heads on a milking machine being a dumb ass so it’s not what tools you use it’s how well you use them to achieve flat.
