Featured Replies

I'm gonna attempt to change the head gaskets on my 79' brat. I know I need :

head gaskets

valve cover gaskets

torque wrench

besides misc hand tools what else do I need?

gonna try to do without removing the engine so I'm

also lookin for pointers, etc before I dive in. THANX!

Intake manifold gasket(s)

Exhaust gasket(s)

 

Special socket for center head bolt.

feeler gages

Valve lash adjustment tool (you could use regular wrenches but having the real thing is much nicer)

 

There's probably more but I can't think too well this late.
