What's this stuff called? I have an old 4 wheeler that might benefit, plus I'm curious. Also, thanks for the instructions on lapping, VERY good information. The internet does have some good qualities after all.FOG said:I see on the internet some head gasket repair goop for 130 bucks ,that says guaranteed to fix Caddies. Hey what have I got to loose.

FOG, by "spray enamel", do you mean any spray paint? (I've been told they all contain a bit of enamel),FOG said:You are now ready for reassembly. Clean the old head gasket with lacquer thinner and Scotch brute or steel wool. Then repaint it with 1 coat of spray enamel on both sides (1 coat)
Should the valves be re-freashed only if there's a leak, or in any case?FOG said:You ought to re- fresh your valve seats now too.
Hi FOG, i'm about to use your method on my '98 ninja 250, the cylinder block it's similar to the ex500's. I need to get both surfaces lapped(?) and i'm gonna use a thick piece of glass. Already cleaned and painted the gasket. Expect more pics and updates!! Thanks in advance, greeting from Patagonia Argentina.FOG said:Yesterday I picked up a piece of granite for free from a local granite counter top co. It was about 2 square feet. they had a pile of that stuff that they would gladly give you.
BTW I cut the thing with my skill saw using one of the tile cutting diamond blades, like a piece of wood.
