Where are you buying your stuff from? There is a Summit warehouse in LasVegas.Damn this is killing me, it has been a week. Just got my main bolts, cam bolt, and timing chain. However my connecting rod bolts are delayed due to weather. I live in sunny Phoenix and the winter still gets to me lol.
The brown discs are overheat sensors..tells the machine shop that last rebuilt the heads whether or not the engine was ran hot enough to cause some problem that they may have to fix under some warranty.Okay so when I took the new (to me) heads apart I got these little brown disks. Any idea what those are for? And should I use them with the new springs?
Which brings up another question, the old springs were different sizes from exh. To int. And yet the new set from trickflow are all the same size, is this correct?
Yes love summit, however they apparently didn't have anything that I ordered in the Las Vegas store, it all came from Texas (I got yesterday) and Georgia should get Monday. Both are/were late.Where are you buying your stuff from? There is a Summit warehouse in LasVegas.
All those discs looked good, maybe I'll put them back on just for my own piece of mind.The brown discs are overheat sensors..tells the machine shop that last rebuilt the heads whether or not the engine was ran hot enough to cause some problem that they may have to fix under some warranty.
What are you gonna do with connecting rod bolts? You cannot just beat out the old ones, and install new ones without possible rod circumference changes..Got as far as I can without the connecting rod bolts. All torqued to spec no issues this time.
How would one go about changing them, I don't trust the old. Would hate to snap another like on the mains.What are you gonna do with connecting rod bolts? You cannot just beat out the old ones, and install new ones without possible rod circumference changes..
Rod circumference changes leads to possible rod bearing failure...
No,...you would definitely change them out. But you're gonna have to have a machine shop check the big end for distortion after you do it, and resize them if needed. Put a rod on the crank that hasn't been checked, and you can expect that you may be be pulling it apart when half of the bearing is in the pan.Should I just reuse the old ?
