Fresh head with exhaust mani and new hardware installed
New arp2000's
New MLS
ARP's installed finger tight.
Wes and Ryan fartin around
gasket in place
The head is in! heavy sucker w the iron exhaust mani installed. Had to bend that a/c line outward w a 6' crowbar to get clearance lol.....I should have gotten a picture of that. Pretty damned happy it didnt break on me.
Ryan using his badass Snap-On torque wrench on the studs. I didnt want to break it...it costs more money than I've spent on the head refresh/parts etc for this job!
Tq to 32ft/lb then 2 90 degree rotation sessions
Cam's are in, need to set up for timing still.
