Going through a BHG right now....lol.
I like how you made it sound like I was diagnosed with a disease or something.
:eek3:
Well...I'm just putting everything together now.

Lol, I seen part of your "disease" on one of your friend's hoodies at the supra meet a couple of weeks back. I was like, "Hey, where's the Korean?" They were like, "He's got a BHG right now so he couldn't make it." He then comences to point out a big oil stain on his hoody and says, "Here's part of him right here." Then Suprahero said something like, "Yeah, we keep parts of our BHG buddies with us all the time."

The Greddy MHG I used had no viton coating. It had no coatings that I could see actually.
I've used this gasket now on 4 motors, and it's been clamped down 5 times. Four times we used brake quite, and one time we used hylomar, and none of the times has the gasket leaked at all.
This last time we actually clamped it between the tourqe plate and the block, then bored the motor and the gasket, then cleaned it all up again, coated it with brake quiet, and clamped it back in place again. (No problems so far.)
No idea what the RA is, but it was pretty smooth. I would not say mirror smooth, but you could not feel any machine marks, but you can see them. I belive the brake quiet does a great job of sealing up the small machine marks, and it's tough enough to hold up to boost and combustion pressures. We all know the metal head gasket is stronger than the composite ones, so they rarely ever distort unless there is crazy detonation. (At least in my experiance.)

Re-using a MHG with a spray coating is fine...it's when the viton is present there's a problem. Heck...using the spray on a composite HG is likely ok too

Back on Topic...
Hylomar Blue = looks & smells like silly string = Using Silly string to seal your HG works just fine..........right?

Good info for the mentally challlenged builder, but it should read "thinking of using spray sealer on a new head gasket"!:naughty: :biglaugh:
I was curious if the copper spray was a good or bad idea. I went with it anyway.
I've been running 17psi for about 1.5 years on an upgraded ct26; no problems yet. But then again, with the T61 at 20 psi it may go to shit.
I wonder, since I let the copper spray tack for 30 minutes, maybe some of the solvent reducer in the spray dissipated; who knows.

Ok, no spray on mhg, got that.
What about on stock graphite head gasket? Just slap it on or should some sealer be used. Is there a certain RA spec for stock that needs to be met?

What type of cleaning substance should i use to get the bits of old hg off

Gasket remover will work fine for that. Clean up the block surface and the head, put on the new gasket, bolt it down and you should e good to go, just remember to torque Toyota bolts to 72 foot pounds, or if you're using ARPs use the specs they specify on the instruction insert.
I remember seing this one JDM option 2 video that they put RTV on a head gasket for a SR20DET?? the RTV's color was orange.. I dont know if it works good but they got the car running and used the car for drifting. maybe some JDM shit huh dont ya'llz think?
aite, peace.
aite, peace.
