Hi guys,
picked up a powertorque off the strip to try and get it going.
The o ring under the starter was shot so that was replaced but the compression still did not feel as tight as it should have been. (judging by the trusty yank cord mechanism :P)
I have had a look and the bore looks brand new (piston and rings look excellent as well).
I wanted to check the head gasket and i think i have a problem...
The gasket cam off in bits n pieces, crumbly at parts and plain stuck on in other parts.(feels like its stuck so tight!)
Without resorting to scrapers/ blades, how do you guys remove the old gaskets and prep the surface for a new gasket installation?
Thanks!
