eppoh Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Getting ready to put together the heads. In reading the factory manual about putting the cam cases on the heads it says: The camshaft is secured to the cylinder head with the camcase. An oil passage in the cylinder head provides the passageway in the camcase with oil that leads to the intake rocker shaft. Oil from the camshaft is collected on the opposite side of the passageway leading to the intake rocker shaft to provide oil to the exhaust rocker shaft. Sealing of the camcase is accomplished by using a thin layer of three bond (1280B) applied in the channel around the camcase edge. After the three bond is applied, the camcase must be installed to the cylinder head and onto the engine before the three bond has time to cure. Failure to do this will result in oil leaks. I had planned to assemble the heads one day and install them the next. But this advises against it. Has anyone had experience doing this? Is it really critical to do it all at once?

bsoelman Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I would try to do it all at once. when you torque the head bolts there will be a bit of flexing that could break the seal and cause leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
