Hi Good people,
Can any one give me some idea's on how to make some gasket making tools? I have probably spent close too $200.00 on gaskets this year for Mags.
And I have also spent probably $15.00 this year on gasket material to make my own by tracing them out and cutting them with a good pair of small craft shears. That works the best. I cant seem to follow the lines very well trying to use a razor blade and goof and ruin a good gasket material. It is just hard on my hands and a pain to do because it takes so long. And most of the time I end up redoing them because they are a little to small to fit.
So My question is can any one come up with some plans for me to maybe make a set for the H4 mag and the J4 mag with my lathe and drill press. I have the small punch type to make the holes that I got from harbor freight.
I can give you dimentions if you would like, But the main thing would be to send me in the right direction on how to maybe do this. I have a hard time latly figuring out how to do and make things but if someone can show me how I may be able to do this I am sure I can get er done.
Also I should have an update on the H motor shortly in the next few days or so I hope. So far besides a blown head gasket the machine shop is finding nothing wrong but he wants to plastic gauge the crank and test the oil pump in the next few days.
