I got the head off the MD and ordered the head gasket this morning. Somehow he found a head gasket for $55. I was pleasently suprised when he called me back with that info. When I looked at C&Gs and Messicks website they listed it for $185, but $160 if you bought the head removal kit. Weird.
Anyhow, when I talked to Lawrence at Farm Country he mentioned scraping off the carbon before reinstall. Which carbon would that be? It doesn't look all that bad??? There is a decent amount above the piston where the rings don't travel, but the head is okish. How do you go about doing that (without wrecking stuff)
Is there something else I should do when I have the head off?
How do I reinstall the rack? Should the engine be in a certain position? Is it easier to put it in a certain position while the head is off? Do I adjust the valves right away, run it and adjust again?
