Yet another heads thread

[Nero]

Now this is definitely a form of art. I'd frame and mount it, if I didn't need them in my engine.

Got the glow plug relay relocation harness in today. Not gonna lie, this looks very well built. Can't wait to get it installed.

I'll call Justin next week Friday to check on my heads, then it's slam it together!

After a bit of a waiting for my heads, they are finally en route back to me, and I should see them in a week.

Mostly for my reference because I'm bad at losing sticky notes, for head studs Justin recommended the following torque;

Factory pattern, all in ftlbs
90
110
130
150

Set pump at 7°

Lock wastegate out

Then full send it, should be fine.

I also asked about stock rocker levers and can followers wearing out with the comp springs, he said the comp springs actually help prevent bent push rods and such, the engine floats valves easier with stock springs.

Can't wait to get this under way...

Edit, forgot to mention, he said a wicked wheel upgrade for the 093 turbo kit is a very good idea.
Probably something I'll do down the road, not right now.

Don't forget what Smokey the Diesel says, "only YOU can retourque your heads after a couple thousand miles....... unlike that do-do brain Jesus Freak who almost screwed some stuff up. But he caught it in time and there was no real damage...... he's coming around".

Definitely worth looking into. You might just do it anyway since you're a diesel nut.

If you use ARP lube with their studs, no need to retorque, according to ARP

Plus he is over torquing to 150, if those loosened enough to cause an issue we have bigger problems

 

[Nero]

That was something Justin said, he torques all his engines that way and has never had an issue as long as you're using the felpro gasket.

Took all my loose hardware to work today, ran it all through the parts cleaner. Sure is nice having a clean intake, exhaust, and all bolts.

Well the tracking for my heads says Friday. Mother nature decided to be aa cruel mistress, and start raining tonight and not stop until next week sometime.


Well I showed mother nature my favorite finger, and made a tent. I want my dang truck back!
