KRE MR-1 Block and High-Port Heads Build - Big-Inch Bracket Bruiser - Pontiac Tech
|
The heads were installed with Cometic 0.040 gaskets and a KRE High-Port stud kit. Mark Kauffman says the studs deliver a better-distributed load on the heads and keep the torque accurate longer. He prefers to use oil instead of thread-lockers or sealers to keep his torque readings true-three passes to arrive at 100 lb-ft. Scorpion 1.6:1 roller rockers transfer cam lift to the valves, and a KRE stud girdle ensures that the geometry stays correct, despite the forces put upon the valvetrain. View Related Article
