This gasket’s .046″ thickness (1.25 mm) and 4.560″ wire diameter (.105″ wire) offer enhanced stability for high-performance builds, ensuring reliable operation under extreme conditions.
Gasket & Groove Specifications
- Thickness: .046″ (1.25 mm)
- Wire O.D.: 4.560″
- Groove Radius:
- .019″ when cutting grooves in both the block and head
- .039″–.040″ if cutting grooves in only one (head or block)
Installation Guidelines
-
Surface Preparation
- For the best seal, have your head and block machined for flatness before installation.
- Engines Under 800 HP: Cutting grooves in either the head or block usually suffices.
- Engines Over 800 HP: Cut grooves in both the head and block for optimal sealing.
- A radiused cutter is strongly recommended for all groove work.
-
Studs Are a Must
- Our competition gasket requires studs to achieve the clamp load needed for higher horsepower.
- Lubrication: Apply a generous amount of lube on the nut, washer, and threads to ensure even torque across all fasteners.
- Never exceed manufacturer torque limits—fasteners store substantial potential energy at full torque.
-
Torque Procedure
- Initial Torque: Aim for 130 ft-lb on initial startup.
- Hot Retorque: After reaching operating temperature, retorque while the engine is still warm.
- Check Valve Lash: Retorquing compresses the gasket further, reducing valve lash. Readjust as needed.
- Final Check: Retorque at least once more before subjecting the engine to full load or high RPM.
