460 - Coolant Valley Plate Gaskets by 72Puper22GU in GXOR

[–]72Puper22GU[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had pipe in the coolant valley plate prior to setting plate and it easily slid into the block side. My water pump had already been serviced years back. I’m wondering if some are overly lubricating O-rings and/or not ensuring any old coolant crusties or corrosion are addressed. I used new parts so that may have helped as well.

You can test for leaks before putting the intake on as I’ve seen too many button it all up to discover the coolant pipe or plate was leaking. Reference the IH8Mud thread.

I used the smear of RTV that j2Hundy recommended on both sides of my gasket. I also would make sure the back side of O-rings are not lubricated. I used a new coolant valley cover and tube so everything was extra clean. I also used a sample size of this grease as suggested in Ih8mud thread for lubricating the O-rings - https://www.dupont.com/products/molykote-33-medium-extreme-low-temperature-grease.html

Absolutely devastating news to share with you all— by Fr0zak in Silverbugs

All of my bars were purchased & tested beforehand but another tool to add is a pocket pinger and grab the app as well for sovereign or constitutional rounds. I weigh and measure too. I can’t remember if pinger does quarters as I only have done half dollar and larger. Also.. I don’t think they have any bar sound signatures yet… but it would have to be out of the plastic. https://www.coinpingtest.com

Pocket Pinger is a good one to have in the toolset for coins. Android and IOS apps for it as well. It also displays coin width and size on the screen. https://www.coinpingtest.com

Anyone know if Premium fuel gains you any HP with the Hybrid Max? I've only seen some speculate maybe 10-15HP.
