Hello all,
Finally getting a chance to put together my top end (pistons, jugs, valves) after re-honing my cylinders, new piston rings and a valve tune up. This is my first time, so I want to make sure I am not missing any gaskets or pieces. I've purchased a gasket set off ebay and was just hoping for a bit of clarification.
A few questions referencing the image attached:
- Do I need to use the two rings labelled 1?
- Which gasket do I start with, then which one is between the jugs and valves? (image 2 or 3)
- I'm assuming 5 are for the valve tappets
- what is 4 for?
- Are 6 for valve stem seals? do i install these?
- What are the 7's for?
- and i'm assuming 8 is exhaust?
Thanks!!
