Bolting on aluminum FE heads
My fellow gear heads,
I'm not new to building engines, So I have the basics down pretty good, but I have always dealt with cast iron heads. The new aluminum E-Brock heads for my S.O. showed up yesterday. Any wisdom, tips, cautions, or experiences you guys are willing to share as to installing these heads would be greatly appreciated. Steve:) |
Everyone has their own favorite way of doing things, I like to use anti-seize on all the bolts (to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion) and torque in at least three steps. After the engine has been through a few good heat cycles re-torque. As a preventative measure I also like to re-torque at about 10,000 miles (while it may be down the road a bit, it still good to keep in mind).

Must be low or med riser heads for that manifold. I've been looking for aluminum Hi Riser heads for an SO; to match my intake. Anybody make them?
I torque 'em just like lik Woodz said. |
