“Sand paper!?!?!”… I can feel the comments without even looking at em.. lol. Good video man! 👌I also hate those cap nuts. Another thing, I like 14ft-lbs when going into aluminum. And always put bolts back in the same hole they came out of. . All threads will stretch differently. 👍✌️
Great video, your hand position on tightening was about what I'd do, but I'm convinced now that I should test my instincts against a torque wrench since I've never used one before. my gaskets are coming in the mail - won't be long....
I sanded my head & jug flat/smooth & used a very light thin, coating of non hardening black tar like gasket sealer on each side of the head gasket....Iv'e been able to reuse the head gasket several times without issue.
Hi I just got the bike yesterday and I put it together and I’m using the 40 to 1 premix end it is really cold outside maybe about 22° I have spark and compression but it still won’t start is the fuel the issue or is the engine freezing
I'm not the guy to give good advice on that build. I have not built a 196 or 212 before. There are some 4 stroke big bore groups on Facebook that might help
I use m10 x 1.75 couplers for nuts. Also knowing the quality that goes into these castings I deck the head and jug lightly to make sure I have a flat mating surface. I love the idea of the belville? washers. I have to get some.
repaired my leaky head gasket but striped threads in casting on cylinder studs when tightening to 10ft/lb, had to re drill and install helli coil in casting
Some people reuse them too and yes sometimes you can but come on guys you can buy several of them for a couple dollars so to be safe just use a new one
As always a good video with good information I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eugene If you celebrate Christmas anyway I hope the new year is great for you.
