LiftdT4R Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm pretty sure pro-design heads need the longer studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 You want to have new orings for it as well. Don't use the old ones. There's nothing to the assembly. Using a pinch of grease, run the rings thru your fingers. This will help those orings keep in place as you drop it in. Keeping the spark plugs on the domes will give you something to hold it from as you drop the bottom half in along with domes. Then place the next cool head plate over & ready to torque in increments of 5lbs. Follow the same pattern as shown on stock head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshee Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Best advice I can give you for a coolhead is grease the hell out of the o-rings. If you dont grease them they fall off/out and you want to throw it across the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaosBanshee44 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 What did you end up spending on it on ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 While you're at it...I put RTV on the studs. Put a dab on the threads when you screws them into the head....and put a dab on the studs before you put the nuts on them and torque it down. I've always had issues sealing aftermarket heads in the center studs...a little RTV can go a long way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Do you just use bearing grease? I wouldnt recomend bearing grease. Use Vasoline or Petrolium Jelly. The vasoline will melt when the engine gets up to temperature. Bearing grease will not since it protects metal part over at least 300 deg. Get a chunk in the water jacket it is going to stay there. Or plug up a core in your radiaotor. Vasoline will melt and not plug up the cooling system. It porbably woudnt plug up the first time but if you do it enought times with bearing grease it could. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
