Having fun with your Twooper ?
Charlie
==================================================
Hate to admit it..but after bragging that I hadn't been on the "hook" for decades....
Twooper started Banging bad...sounded like a broken piston / wristpin.... on the hook I went...
Comp test showed #3 & 4 30 psi...??? Pulled head... loose headbolts!! Gasket blown between the 2...
And I'd seen this before on my previous Twooper... PO had the head rebuilt 30k before I got it...I drove it 20 k when it blew...
But it didn't burn thru...pushed coolant!
So I replaced the gasket today....drove it hard 10 miles and put it away...
I'll re-torque tomorrow...and every 15k when I adjust valves.
Sadly, yours cannot be the same... individual gaskets..
