Whatever the felpro part number that Eddy had in their instruction book. 1009 or something like that, I’ll have to double check.

I’ll do that before final assembly. I’m still waiting on my valves to come in. Freaking back ordered...
So I’m gonna torque these down and get everything measured up for the pushrods, then pull them back off. get those on order just in case they’re on back order too
You do know you have to replace the head gaskets after you take them back off, right?

Yep yep. And I’m using new ARP head studs for the final assembly too. Tomorrow’s torque down will be done with the new ARP head bolts for RPM heads.

Question, would full on copper gaskets be worth it?
Nope. Will leak water. IMO those are only used in dry engines....Just my opinion...with serious boost, SERIOUS boost!!
He saw it on the boobtube. What would us guys know? If you had never done something you'ld be sharing it too!

Actually no, I was actually researching science fair projects for my daughter’s science fair coming up after spring break. She has to do a project involving “house hold kitchen supplies.” Figured I’d tackle two birds with one stone.
When the stove has that much grease, start with a household scraper.
Ammonia will lift grease and wax if you use it right.
Vinegar is a pretty good cleaner, but its just a mild acid.
