CraigP Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Do u know what they need to be torqued to? and in what sequence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblockbanshee Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 It goes in the same sequence as a stock head if you have one. I'm trying to find one so I can post a pic. And the torque specs are something like 18-20 ft-lb. I'm gonna go make 100% certain though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblockbanshee Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 It should also be noted that it's extremely important to tighten them in steps. This meaning go around them once at 10-12 ft-lb, again at 15-17, then a final time at 18-20 ft-lb. This is a must or you risk warping the head and/or pulling a stud out of a jug, both of which will be a real PITA to fix. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 yea and if the cylinders have been overheated too much they will be more likely to yank threads. also the studs you use you need to check that the o-rings will seal against the actual stud NOT a threaded section of it. it is more likely to leak if the o-ring is in the threaded area. also use grease on the o-rings to help hold them in place and take your time dont rush it. you will need longer studs for that head also. and i'd highly recomend using a stud installer/ remover on them.. dont tq the studs much at all when you put them in the cylinders. just a lil eee and thats it.

bigblockbanshee Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 A stud installer/remover? Why not just use two nuts jammed together to twist the studs down or take them out? That's how I did mine, I even indexed them so they're all the same length sticking out of the jugs except for the front two, they were about 4 threads longer in the stud kit I had.

camatv Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 i can drop in all 10 studs in about 5 minutes with an installer.... i can remove the studs in about 8 with a remover. i just like having the right tools for the job. just my preference.

bigblockbanshee Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Fair enough. I'll have to look one up. Although it's not something you'd use frequently unless you were a builder I'd say it would be handy to have around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06specialedition Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 It looks like a pro-design knock off. That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselhead Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 thanks for all the help i just picked up one of these rare parts just wondering how it worked out and if pro design domes work in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 if you bring the head by my house i can see if the pd domes fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
