hercalmighty Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Which Head do you have? That would help alot. Quote
CBAIER1206 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 If its a coolhead, should be pretty self explanatory which orings go where because of their size...they'll only fit into certain locations. You want to be very thourough when putting these heads together and make sure the orings are installed correctly otherwise you can develop coolant leaks and engine damage will result! Use a thin film of grease to coat the orings before placing them in the head...this will make them stick to the head easier so when you turn the head upside down to place on the cylinders...the orings don't fall out. The dome orings seem to be the toughest to install properly. I put the base on first, and then place the domes on top of the base where they are lined up over each cylinder and then use a flashlight to inspect all 360 degrees of each dome oring to make sure they are not pinched and are in place...then just slide the top piece on and tighten her down! If you have any other questions...just holla and good luck! Quote
dajogejr Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) The two brown ones seal the water from the combustion chamber, they're for the domes. The larger black pair seal the outer edge of the bottom shell. The small ones seal the studs between the halves, the single large one seals the two halves together. Two small black ones seal the top of the domes to the upper shell... And the last one seals the water neck to the back of the head. Use Acorn nuts and a dab of RTV on each nut before you torque and tighten it down to help prevent leaks. Edited January 28, 2009 by dajogejr Quote
Ieat4strokes Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Posted January 29, 2009 yes its a pro design head......like i said i had a decent picture but better safe than to toast a motor on speculation ya heard. as far as the acorn style nuts, do any part stores carry em or lemme guess, im looking at more down time cuz they have to b ordered? thanks for all the help.

CBAIER1206 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 www.cascade-innovations.com carries the acorn style nuts...they aren't a necessity but they really look sweet compared to the stockers Quote

dajogejr Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 You pay for bling. Or you could go to Aco, Ace, Home Depot, etc., and pay about 35 to 50 cents each.... Quote
