Great video, thanks for posting this. The heads on my shovelhead are band style and my ss intake manifold is o-ring. Should i get a band style manifold or will this kit be fine for my current setup?
Hi, I just bought these seals for my ‘77 Ironhead.. they didn’t work for me.. no matter how tight I did the clamps up as soon as the seals got hot and more supple the clamps slowly vibrated their way off.. very annoying as they’re quite expensive.. gonna try the standard o ring/band clamp style next.
To make them go in better use a paint can opener to pull them around
Just purchased the kit. Hopefully it will help the issue I’m having with one cylinder running a hell of lot hotter the the other one. 🤞
Did it work for you?
@@noahhoman9749 I still haven’t fired up the engine but the kit is installed. I’m 100% sure I’ll won’t have any leaks now.

Some online instructions say you still need the O-ring with the band kit, in this video, I noticed no O-ring was used, anyone tired with or without
You’ll no longer need an oring
Can this be used on a 1000 cc iron head ?
Yes absolutely
@@garagebuilttv What if the bottom of the lip on the head is chipped?
