Head gasket & over heating
When I disassembled my engine after over heating and blowing the head gasket, I noticed how restrictive the gasket was. I am experimenting with opening up the one hole/notch MLS gasket to flow more coolant.
In addition to making the existing holes the same size as the head and block, I added the small holes between the bores on the top side. In the stock gasket these are closed, as in the first photo. Here is what i did:
Comparison - Here are photos of an unadulterated gasket under the modified one. You can see there is a huge difference. This modification has opened up the head gasket so that it adds no restriction and has the same opening as the head and block. I estimate that I have almost quadrupled the orifice area from a stock gasket. Check out the stock one: And afterward: This HAS to help with the heat. I'll keep you all updated. |
