Joda76 Posted Wednesday at 05:22 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 05:22 PM (edited) Hello good people. I bought my self a cheep defective Ossa. It is in a rather good shape, only inner head gasket is blown. After cranking it pops like a champagne when opening a radiator cap. Coolant that I have drained smells on gassoline. As I can see 4 side bolts will be the problem to torque with my Nm torque wrench because of a frame interference . Should I use some special tool , or release engine in front and pivot it a bit to make some clearance? One more thing. I read that inner oring is better to be silicone than NBR one, any oppinion on that? Many thanks ! Edited 18 hours ago by Joda76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtas Posted Wednesday at 11:19 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:19 PM Silicone has a higher heat tolerance than NBR, so if you can that would be better. Both will tolerate the Glycol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauls320 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Be a good idea to inspect the o-ring grooves in the back side of the head for cracks. The exhaust mount bolts to the head stay and if the suspension is bottomed out it tags the header pipe and levers against the cylinder head , have seen it fracture the head in the mentioned location ..hopefully yours is okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
