gomer Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 i am getting my head shaved tommarrow and i was wanting to make sure that 30 thousands is the max you can take it for pump gas and how many ft. pounds do i need to torque the head down to thanks alot Quote
ranshee Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 22 ft. lbs, dont know about the gas though. Mine is 50 thousandths (I think) and I just run 1/2 110 and 1/2 91 works great. Quote
gomer Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Posted March 10, 2004 thanks alot i just cant pay $5 a galon for race gas i hope it is 30 thousnads Quote
Blue Duece Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 thanks alot i just cant pay $5 a galon for race gas i hope it is 30 thousnads it is 30...and the head torques to 20 foot pounds....do a compression check after you mill it depending on your elevation you could need at least half race fuel....

gomer Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Posted March 10, 2004 i live at about 800 feet elevation Quote
gomer Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Posted March 10, 2004 the psi per cylinder should be 145-155 right just wan to get this right cant aford to screw it up Quote
boonman Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Not a problem at your elevation with .030" off. You should run around 145-150 PSI on a healthy motor. And yea, Deuce had it right at 20, but I torque the cylinders to 22, and the head to 22. Anything higher, and you risk pulling the studs out..... Quote
gomer Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Posted March 10, 2004 thanks alot i think i am getting a good deal on my head work from a guy that builds drag motors (for cars) he said he will only charge me 25-35 dollars depending on how long it takes him i should have it back tommarrow or friday Quote
