[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 472425, member: 16552"] No...I don't KNOW...but I think copper coat or any spray is a bad idea to an already COATED gasket (as the head gasket is). IF the head gasket were not coated, then copper coat or other hi-tack spray would be a good bet. This just comes to mind. That filmy stuff on the head gasket? That is NOT a protective covering...it's part of the gasket! Don't peel it off. ;) No..I'm not aware of that issue due to personal experience! ...sheesh... re: torque and the cylinder. You can use a crowfoot. Motion Pro DOES make a wrench specifically designed for access. Has a square hole in the middle to accept a ratchet. Yes, you DO need to run the numbers thru a mathematical formula when using an adapter that changes the length of the wrench. Don't bother. You do [b]NOT[/b] have to worry about that if the adapter is attached at a 90º angle to the torque wrench. USE a torque wrench. Keep your wrenches at a right angle. Tighten to spec in an X fashion. If you don't have the spec, ask! The 'just snug' approach works fine...depending on what 'snug' means to you. That's why there are threads concerning 'cheap' oil drain plugs, 'cheesy' seat bolts etc. Because one's 'snug' is another's 'reef'. XR: You DID use a wiseco for your 220, right? The fortunate ones'a us that have 200s can use Pro-X pistons of the correct alpha tolerance designation (a,b,c or d). Those stuck with 220s have no choice in the matter (if they want to get rid of their flimsy-skirt oem piston, anyway) Cheers! [/QUOTE]
