All good advise CD!

Thanx for the advice fellers. I've got the braket hooked the exhaust manifold i just can't get my hand past the exhasut break to get the bolt back into the block. Is it better to get the bolt started in the block and then hook the one on the manifold stud or visa versa?

 

BTW, don't use the stock studs from the turbo flange they are too long and you will get a large exhaust leak between the turbo and exhaust manifold. II should have included new ones with the turbo that are shorter. Good Luck, Tom J.

 

Hey lu798welder how about an update.

Got it runnin. Topper I pm'd you a message on it for some help. Its running pretty good I just don't think its running like it should with all the upgrades i've done to it. I do have a good question for all you gear heads on here tho. I torqued all my rocker arms back to 27ft lbs and all the new head studs to 136ft lbs. I've ran the truck for 100 maybe 120 miles. Do I need to pull the valve cover and all that crap back off and re-tourque all that stuff?

 

and right back off again
