They are amazing heads after you fix them. They are just slapped together factory corporate push style with no love. The love comes from the machine shop get to know your local shop.

Pete... I'm almost an engine builder thanks to you. question... im installing heads on an lt1 95' using gm 10105117 .028 gasket. I notice that the upper part of the gasket has one large triangular shape passage instead of a squarish divided passage... This triangle shape covers the large water passage AND the smaller square opening that goes into the rocker arm bay.... many ppl use these gaskets but that large opening is worrisome the original has a divided partition between the large passage and the open space. Whats up with that????

As long as the gasket does not cover and existing hole or leave a huge open space somewhere it will be fine

@propellerhead9197 5 жыл бұрын

wouldn't it be a good idea to install the heads together alternating heads while working the torque steps. Reasoning being the torque from the bolts slightly warps the block.?

@PetesGarage 5 жыл бұрын

Well...that is a potential issue. However, the block has a torque plate on it when it's bored and honed to make up for that.

Edelbrock E-Street heads say toque to 65 foot lbs. would it matter? I just built my 1986 Corvette engine with the e-street heads and I’m almost at the 500 break in mile mark and the #8 intake valve spring broke into 4 sections, and I noticed that the valve seal was not all the way down on the guide so I looked at the rest of the seals and half of them are not seated . Question. What would cause my spring to explode into 4 sections and the inner spring to break into 3 sections. Need help cause I have to be at the Turkey rod run in Daytona in two weeks and I’m driving it down there from Jacksonville Florida.

@PetesGarage 3 жыл бұрын

The valve seal had nothing to do with it, unless they were positive lock seals. A spring will break if it's crooked, or not right for the cam.

The compression with the old heads was 145 psi in each cylinder and then 165 psi with the Edelbrocks . Runs smooth idles good just LESS power . I am running an Edelbrock 600 CFM carb unchanged . I do need to get the correct push rod length could this be the problem ?. Could you give me some advice ? Thank you !

A question Pete. Did you use ARP Ultra Torque assy lube on these bolts? The video doesnt show it, nor is the lube mentioned. Thanks

@ChielScape 6 жыл бұрын

ironhorse127 I noticed that too. Especially under the bolt head this is important because the friction there will eat a lot of your torque.

@PetesGarage 6 жыл бұрын

ironhorse127 No, because the threads are covered with sealant for the coolant. Silicone sealer is a lubricant so adding the Ultra-torque would do nothing.

Lubricates threads for easy assembly and disassembly. Won't shred or wear like Teflon® tape. Parts may be repositioned up to 24 hours after application. Works to 400°F. Suggested Applications: Head bolts into through holes, oil psi sending units and sensors, oil and coolant lines, fuel fittings, rear axle fill plug, brake and power steering fittings. How do you re-torque head bolts that have been gooped up with RTV? The RTV sets up, you re-torque--and break the seal. Conversely, Loctite 592 is advertised that you can re-position the fittings for 24 hours after application. Exactly what's needed for re-torquing bolts.
