KyBlue 655 #1 Posted April 26, 2009 My B80 has needed a head gasket since I bought it, just didnt really notice it till late last summer...

So after spending soo much time & energy on the BBQ trailer and business, I got to spend the day with my WH! What a way to spend the day!!!! I replaced the: Head Gasket Drive Belt Greased everything Built the rockshaft Assbly Fixed a few misc problems with the UniDrive Pulley, as well as the wiring. Pulled the Starter Apart and greased it, swapped the gear for a better one Complete Tune Up Started the day like this: Ended up with: I'll say that it runs 100% better, Sounds like a different beast! I did grease the PTO bearings too much, so I have to clean it out tomorrow, but other than that, it came out great!! Just thought I would share with ya'll!!
