INSTALLATION:
Installation is the same as for stock, except for torque values and sealants. Please note specifications below:
NOTE: It is the customer’s responsibility to check valve to cylinder head clearance prior to final assembly. Failure to do so
could result in serious engine damage.

HEAD GASKETS:
For #1115: Use Fel-Pro #1055 (right) and #1056 (left) copper sandwich gaskets.
For #1125: Use Fel-Pro #HS 7548 B (copper, 3 large irregular water holes on centerline), Fel-Pro #HS 7283 (copper, 2 small round water holes
on centerline), or Victor #3036 (copper).
Those who require a water bypass must drill the deck using their gasket as a template. A 1/4” diameter hole should be adequate.
Refer to Figure 1 for torque sequence and torque specs. A re-torque is necessary after engine warm-up and complete cool-down. A re-torque
after each of three (3) hot-cold cycles is recommended for normally aspirated engines, and a re-torque after each of five (5) hot-cold cycles
is recommended for forced induction (blown) applications.
•
SEALANTS:
Follow the gasket manufacturer’s recommended sealant. Use liquid teflon sealant or teflon tape on pipe thread fittings in heads.
This will prevent thread galling and stripping upon removal.
•
COMPRESSION RATIO:
These heads will yield an 8:1 compression ratio with a 3/16" base relief and the stock bore and stroke. There is a
3/10 ratio increase for every 1/8" increase in stroke.
•
SPARK PLUGS:
A 14mm, 3/4” reach, gasket seat, 5/8” hex sparkplug is recommended, such as Champion RC12YC, RC14YC, or equivalent.
Heat range will vary with different combinations and conditions. Use anti-seize on spark plug threads to prevent thread galling!
