gaskets...

oh yeah some tools to do the work...lol

 

[bwds]

oh cmon rod , be specific , im feeling stressed enough ,lol

 

[Big Will]

Brett, find a full gasket kit... usually you can come by them on ebay, or send Tyson a PM, I think I may have bought mine from him. Separately you'll need head gaskets, check with Scott on the specific part number. I can't remember off hand.

 

[rsc]

1.engine gasket kit
2 grey RTV to seal the cases
3 big bolt to remove rotor. (Scott has it)
4 Honing stone to smooth out the edges
5 tool to reset the pistons in the sleeves
6 bearings for engine
7 tunner... What are you gioing to use? Base map if possible.
8 tool to grind clearances in the cases... if needed
9 exhaust gaskets
10 new spark plugs
11 assembly lube
12 engine cleaner in can PBJ 1 (have scott send you a couple of cans)
13 torque wrenches in-lbs and ft-lbs

just off the top of my head

When assembling use grease/oil on every bolt

Are you going to a bigger fuel pump?
Are you going to bigger injectors?


Me to come over and help you out...

 

[Ed-Rod]

Really good file for ring clearance in the cylinder.

Ring expander to put rings on the pistons safely.

Dial gage to set cams.

Impact driver for clutch nut.

Plastigage to check the bearing clearance.

 

[VrodPete]

Coors Light. Loads of Coors Light. Or perhaps since Scott is going over there, Loads of Fosters...

 

[ohioVROD]

[bwds]

what brand and type of grey rtv sealent and do i need liqid locktight as well as the paste


p.s scott dont forget shimmeed heads my cams and the ss polished bolts from frank in that pack.

 

[rsc]

permatex Ultra Grey.

The paste is just fine, no need to get the liquid.

Craig also reminded me that you need th crows feet or socket and allen socket to get the swingarm pivot shaft out.

 

[bwds]

is it called assemby lube also by permatex and what the hell is an allen socket?.lol

 

[HoneyB]

what the hell is an allen socket?.lol

A 6 sided tool that fits into a recess in a bolt head, and attaches to a socket wrench.

 

[rsc]

assembly lube is grease or oil used when assembling the engine.

NAPA has some: http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Results.aspx?Ntt=765-2651&Ntk=Keyword&Nty=1&N=0



allen sockets: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search_10153_12605?keyword=allen socket set metric&seaxall=1

Coors Light. Loads of Coors Light. Or perhaps since Scott is going over there, Loads of Fosters...

yes, you must not forget the beer brett. ncvrodracer picked up a full gasket kit for 102.50 on ebay a couple weeks ago.

 

[ncvrodracer]

Dont forget the Vance and Hines 2nd gear and ceramic bearings for the tranny...

 

[Ed-Rod]

Don't forget the stupid star sockets for the head bolts.

 

[ohioVROD]

Don't forget the stupid star sockets for the head bolts.

ARP nuts use 12 point US standard sockets.

 

[bwds]

what size is the allen socket for the swing arm.
I got pono caps on mine i dont want to pull off right now

 

[FLEX400]

Brett are you doing this all your self?
