well i just reattached my heads to the cam towers.
Cleaned it with brake cleaner then isopropyl alcohol until the clean room wipes were clean. cracked open my expensive threebond 1104 and holly crap. I squeezed until my head was aboutto pop and nothing came out, brand new too.. i thought maybe i needed to jamb somethign further down and still nothing.

so now what , i reached for the 574, i only had a 1,69oz tube as i just got it for sealing gaskets.. went on a lot easier , i didnt brush or roll it on so i just lay a bead around the openings and two beads from intake to exhaust ... did at two stage torque with 12 then 25 ..NM i did an inspection and saw orange coming out all away around the outside of the hiusing and inside too so i am happy , not sure if i have enough for the other side but we will see.

Whats up with that 1104 ? is it really that hard to work with or did i just have a bad tube ? wasnt cheap either i must say . there is no date code on the box or tube.
