fiber gasket install=
1. torque to spec

2. with coolant tank cap OFF, start engine and allow to come up to operating temp.

3. turn engine off and allow it to FULLY cool down

4. retorque

I HATE fiber HG's on these engines!! they are JUNK :evil: (if you want over stock boost numbers)

Did you warm up the first time w/o the cap and then torque ? If not, I'll bet you'll be taking that head off again for a new HG.

man have you not read my HG saga??
yes, your right I did not follow the procedure I posted and I blew my fiber HG on my test drive!!!!! :cry:  :oops:
I have since sent my fiber gasket to Thailand and a place out there is going to make me a custom fit 1.6 multilayer steel headgasket...no AAZ MLS patching for me..this will be a 1.6 diesel specific gasket.
I hope to end any HG problems I had with this.

ooo ok...when you quoted me I thought you were asking me.. :lol:

yep it was my fault the HG blew...I thought I would not need the retorque so soon with head studs and all...oh-well I am happy with the end result...it forced me to get a better set-up.

i didnt let it fullt cool down and i bet the cap was on.Should i even try to go another 1/4 turn?

[zukgod1]

Well at this point I guess you can't hurt anything really.

Go ahead and try, I'm said to say I think your going to be taking the head off again though.

Head leak has either disapeared or was a spray from the cooler hose.everything is running great now after a few test runs.I was blowing return lines,so i just installed new cloth line.I did run some bio through it when first started,so im hoping that was it,as the return line isnt any smaller then the gasser return line(which doesnt matter i guess)what size is the factory return?here are some videos.chow!
