nickxc Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 as you know I have been having problems with blowing head gaskets. I am having my head reserfaced because it had a small warp to it. now I talked to a guy that worked at a honda place and he has a shee that was blowing head gaskets. he put a little hondabond on both sides of the head gasket all the way around and he says he hasn't had any problems with it since. I think I will try it when I put mine back together. what do ya think??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin_Banshee Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 The gasket is made to seal properly with out any adhesives. If it is decked straight, and your cyls are straight, just bolt it down properly, in the right order and it should be fine. If you continue to blow them, its a problem with the torque sequence or the head/cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 nickxc, yamabond is meant to stay pliable and I don't think it'll hold too much pressure. But, if you're looking for a cheap out, that might be it. The stuff is like flexible plastic though. If the head is just barely warped, it might provide enough hold to work fine. But you'll prolly have to try it to find out.. BTW, i have a stock head left over from mine. Its in good shape. Dunno what they sell for but if you decide to replace yours with another stocker, lemme know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickxc Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Thanks nater... I think I might just put the new gasket on... If im still going through head gaskets when I get my head reserfaced then there is a problem cause I know people run much higher compression and more mods than me with a stock head and gasket. I dont think I'll try the yamabond. Im worried about gettin some in the small coolant holes and blocking one of them causing a hot spot... I also found a deal on head gaskets from my uncle who is incharge of the parts dept at a dealer thats not too far away. $12 instead of $21.50... Im just hopeing that once I get the head reserfaced and check the decking on the cylinders I will be ok man I hope so!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
