    Re-torque of Edelbrock aluminum heads

    I thought about doing that and tried it but all in all it was even more of a pain. I did decide to try lower the column by loosening it inside the car by unbolting it from the dash brackets and the through firewall plate(s) and it hardly moved and not enough to help. I recently put a new power...

    Re-torque of Edelbrock aluminum heads

    That's both interesting and useful. Never heard of those gaskets. Will check them out. Thanks. That's the kind of info I was looking for.

    Re-torque of Edelbrock aluminum heads

    One thing I failed to mention. The engine, heads and exhaust manifolds were assembled in 1992. I did not use anti seize like I am in 2022 with the new sleeve nuts and stud kit I bought for the engine. Edelbrock claims they added .125" material to the interior of the heads at the back of the stud...

    Re-torque of Edelbrock aluminum heads

    I think I have to re-whine. The iron heads are on the car now. The last frozen sleeve nut and stud is making it a miserable bastard getting the stock driver's side exhaust manifold off. This is because the sleeve nut and stud is like they are welded together. The last one is right up against the...

    Re-torque of Edelbrock aluminum heads

    Can you clarify what you mean by "rechecking them?" It's all a moot point if I still have to get a torque wrench on those head bolts.

    Re-torque of Edelbrock aluminum heads

    I took the other sleeve nuts and studs out of the other (passenger side) manifold and it was like they were epoxied together. I tried to get them apart to be able to use them again. I used penetrating oil, putting them in a vise and using a breaker bar, heating them, banging on them, you name...

    Re-torque of Edelbrock aluminum heads

    This is what they send along with their heads in EDL5090.pdf . I called Edelbrock and woke them up and they said much the same thing. Notes: 1) Rocker shaft hold-down studs, nuts and washers for 2 places marked (S) in each head are supplied in this kit. 2) Double nut both studs and screw them...

    Re-torque of Edelbrock aluminum heads

    I recently bought a set of new Edelbrock heads for my '74 440 Cuda and I've had some adventures getting the stock exhaust manifold studs and sleeve nuts out of the stock exhaust manifolds. The rear most sleeve nut on the driver's side exhaust manifold has caused me to have to remove the driver's...

    Worst parts supplier ever

    What HAMB had to say about fatrodder (Fatrobber). I think the guy belongs in jail. Look at what he did to all these guys and all the aliases he used to turn up and sell this crap again and again. Look at how long he has been at it. Read all the aliases and look out for this thief...

    Worst parts supplier ever

    Yes, I made two mistakes. I didn't read all the forum entries about what crooks these guys are and I saw the parts on Ebay and called and placed the order. HUGE mistake. At least I would have had some leverage and protection against these bastards if I had gone through Ebay.

    Worst parts supplier ever

    I was curious about something. I recently bought a brake kit for my Cuda from a guy (Gearheads Enterprises and "Fatrodder" on Ebay) I found on Ebay. I wish I had made the actual transaction through ebay instead of calling him because I would have had more leverage for when this guy bent me over...
