Hi
Head is successfully off. Will now replace broken head stud. Will check the liner protrusions. Never having done this before, a few questions first:
Thanks

Head is successfully off. Will now replace broken head stud. Will check the liner protrusions. Never having done this before, a few questions first:
- Any more prep work to do beside getting face of block and cylinder head clean and spotless? I will carefully use a gasket scrapper and acetone if I have to
- I have 87mm pistons and liners. Any recommendations for a head gasket? I see standard copper ($24), German copper made on Payen tooling ($58), modern composite with silicone sealing rings ($70) or a Cometic Gasket $79). Any advantage or experience with any of these?
- Copper Coat gasket sealer?
- Any special tips, tricks or things to look for to ensure a successful install?
- When torquing the first time, will go in order but, what increments should I take each step at?
- When to re-torque? After first heat cycle, after 100 miles or after 500 miles?
Thanks
Bob
