Gentalmen, My heads are getting work done by the BEST shop around and I want to install them with the Best Bolts or Studs.. What do you use on your heads. I'm looking into a stud kit from APR.

So BG use Manley bolts Ok not APR? I'm also switching gaskets, Was running Fel-Pro 1105 039 Moving to Clark setup? What you think. Motor is 12.8 to 1 and 518" T&D rocker setup.1.5 This combo is a flat tappit roller setup.

OK Boys Agreed Studs (APR/Manley) it will be. Now For the ? I asked BG What Head gasket....
Fel-Pro performance gaskets are fine for your application,Cometics are great but not necessary.When you say Clarke,are you talking copper?

I'm pirating the post. Bob what gaskets for 15--1? What torque do you recommend on the studs? I'll say in advance my -1s are milled down to 57cc. Thanks Doug

BG have you used any SCE gaskets, specifically the Titan ICS
Yes,we have in the past and found the ones that came coated didn't seal well and some were very hard.We usually cleaned them with acid or other cleaners and heated them to get them to anneal and take seat at the o-rings.The softer the copper the better the seal.

Doug, We use Cometics on most all our 14/5 and 15/1 combos.We generally spray them with copper coat and torque 7/16 studs and bolts at 75# and 1/2 studs and bolts at 85#.We also put a skim coat of ultral copper around and water passages if necessary,we use ultra copper on the water passages on all copper/o-ringed applications.These torque specs are with molylube.
Thanks Bob. I'll see about getting that Icon for you. Doug
