Hate that... whenever I take the truck in for work at a shop I clean it and wash it. I hate working in greasy gunk myself
 
OK... so I read too much..

What red lights come on using these metal gaskets .

Stock heads and aluminum Eddy intake????

Apologies for all the questions. I don't want to jack this up

Those gaskets are okay with the metal bead. They will seal fine but on metal gaskets with beads I like to spray them with HiTack made by permatex also. Just a little extra insurance. Then of course you already know this but seal the corners of the intake manifold with silicone rtv

Is that the copper spray?
 
So got the brake and wheel bearing job done. $1500 later customer seems happy. Cant understand why, i guess the bearings being 350 apiece is what made the job so pricey.
He’s bringing his 35 chevy in next. Stalls when driving slow for extended periods.

Same here but I deal with farmers and they could care less about what shape there vehicle is in as long as it looks half way presentable.
Put a new windshield in a truck today and there in the cup holder was at least $200 in cash and change all over the floor. Also guns and ammo.
I'm not a theft and they know that but Damn could they at least clean out there truck so I can work on it. :BangHead:

No, its a gasket sealant/adhesive. I like to use it too. I do use coppeecoat sometimes too. Usually 2 coats before assembling.

I need to get the spray

Like I said... don't want to screw this up so if a different gasket material (composite) is advisable, then I'll get it

I like the metal beaded gaskets. I would just go ahead and use those and spray them with high tack. You should be able to get that at any parts store.

If you wanted to work in a dirty crap hole you could be a plumber.

I could but pays better cleaning up garbage and a plumber has to clean up crap.

I'll have to post the picture when I can get it off my phone that was sent to me today. All the windows were shot out of the car . Parked in front of one of the garage doors at the shop in the city.

Go for it.

Wire wheels throw little metal wires EVERY where. So I don’t like to use them in internal machined applications. There are nylon ones but I have the same concern there.

Never had any issues with a bit of elbow grease and a scotch pad. Could use a straight razor if you needed to as well

You say Scotchbrite and I immediately think of the pads on the wheels for the diegrinder. (Same material as the pads although not as aggressive) Back about 10 or so years ago GM did a study as to why they were having so many lower end issues. (Bearings and such) most of the lower end failures had a intake resealed earlier in the repair history and Scotchbrite pads were used for gasket surface cleaning. Immediately, Bristle Disc's were designed and recommended.

Thanks much...

Another in the series of questions...

Gasket shellac for timing cover and water pump. Gasket installs??
 
Chris I would use the blue gaskets. Never had an issue. But I have used stamped steel with no issues...

I like that to keep gaskets in place while I am messing with position and a lot of bolts. The shellac side will seal while the gasket does it's job on the other side. I have found that poking a screwdriver in the holes to see if they go into a water jacket will tell you if the bolts need a silicone sealer or Teflon on the bolt threads.

Oh, and I only put sealer on the replaceable part and not on the block or head. Easier to wire brush a gasket off a thermostat housing than it is the intake.
