Question 1 Can you use Indian Head gasket compound on the base gasket ???!
Yes, I use Permatex gasket sealer or Aluminum paint on head gaskets. Indian Head on all others.
2 Can the same stuff be used on the head gasket ???!!
Maybe, but I wouldn't, most likely too much heat on the head gasket and I think it will ooze out under pressure.. see above
3 The head gasket ,when people say they blew it out ,what is bad on it ?? I mean it's aluminum can the thing be re-torque the head bolts down again ???!
Depending on what someone says "blow. My first blown gasket was BLOWN , not leaking, and can't be used.
Now I call this head gasket "BLOWN", not just leaking. Although a leaking gasket can at times be reused.
When a gasket is blown like this, the area where it is blown is thinner the the rest of the gasket and hard to seal.
Or is it the base jug gasket that is blowing out ???!!! A good friend of mine owns a flojet and was going to ask him if he could make them and if they would be just as good as the China ones ......I mean what is it doing that everyone says they go bad !!! And would my idea be one to fix the problem ???!!!
I
I've never had a "BLOWN" bass gasket, but they can leak.
A few things that can be done (really needs to be done) First mill the head flat, second is to use proper torque on the head nuts. Torque is 120 to 175 INCH POUNDS (on 8mm studs). I use at least 150. This goes along with upgrading the studs to Metric 8.8 and nuts. Trash the acorn nuts.
Would like all kinds of input if you think that I could just have them made !!!
Need lots of input please and thank you !!!!
