Well the head is all done being hogged out and it's going on this week. Does anyone have any pro's or con's on using the copper head gasket sealant in a spray can? I've used it before on gas applications and was wondering if I should? All opnions are welcome!

Bump.

 

I have heard you don't want to use it with the regular HG. It can be used with the common rail's MLS head gasket, though.

 

So I just put my head on without the copper spray. Those stinkin bolts get tight! The shorts were 180FT/lbs the med got to 160Ft/lbs and the long 140ft/lbs! This was with moly lube, holes tapped, cleaned and blown dry! My arm hurts!
Should be up and going this weekend, I can't wait to see what a differance this head will make!

 

Thats bs. No way they are that tight.

 

That's not tight! I just torced the head studs on my dad's 6.0 powerjoke to 250 ft/lbs. We got everything done and were going over it one more time and my dad snaped a snap-on torce wrench.

 

Let us know how you like that porting! that looks good, I plan on doin that in the future!

 

I hope it's good. I'm like a kid at christmas! Did you notice that the hump is gone? Robb took lots of metal out of that head! And gave me some sort of valve job. I don't know the angles but we'll see how it works!

 

thats not tight. Cummins N14 is 255 ft. lbs plus another 90 degrees lol i think the ISX cummins is around 300. im not sure. but good to hear u got 'er put back together

 

Ok, maybe I should rephraze that, I've read before guys that just torq to 135. I was never that low on any of the bolts. Maybe they were talking about studs or something?

 

Studs are a completely different story.

 

well its on and it runs! I've devloped a fuel leak somewhere while installing my new supply system. ive gotta try and find that sometime this week. made the 4" down pipe and made the rest of the system but couldn't find my band clamp so its just running a down pipe till I get one from freightline.r

 

who did this work? thanks!

 

I did all of the remove and install, making exhaust and fuel supply. A guy named Robb at a local go fast shop did the head porting. Why do you ask?

 

just wondering.
