Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas prevents this type build up and gives extra power and smoothness. It is really Miracle and everyone that uses it just loves it.

Hi. On modern common rail turbo diesels would you advise to spray Hylomar onto gasket prior to installation?..

Hmm good question. I bet some fine sand with some water would work, just make sure to clean it before putting it back on.

@@MowerMikeI bet that’s too abrasive. I would prefer toothpaste with baking soda over sand.
I may have missed it but did you check the valve lash (and possibly need to grind the end of your valve stems) after lapping your valves as the clearance has shortened after the lapping process?

Yep after you install the heads you always need to check the valve lash. Check out my Kawasaki head install video to show how to set the lash
you linked the Valve compound 2 X’s and no Link to SPRING compressor
I don't think I'd trust a 2"x4" and sandpaper to flatten a head surface. There are some pretty twisted 2"x4"s. Maybe table saw surface would work.

Hmmm no, you will just have to use your imagination
Mike, it's not valve guides, it's valve guide seals. It is better to lap the valves before you install the seals.

@@MowerMike Anyone that can even consider supporting a man like donald trump as the next president clearly doesn’t deserve my support in any way. He is clearly guilty of directing and inciting an insurrection as well as fraud. (Defrauding the public out of owed taxes). He is clearly unstable and only wants to be just like Putin! He wants to be a dictator and you support him. SMH
