Installed mighty diesel head bolts today

This was about halfway done, still some stock bolts in there.

I got into a wreck a few days ago, since I'm waiting on parts for that I did this and adjusted valves while I have the covers off.

Install went well, bolts seem a lot better then the stockers and now I won't worry about 40-45 psi runs.

I dont wish to spoil your party, but the rocker covers will leak like a sieve with the washers on the bolts between them. I put bolts similar to yours on my truck and had to eliminate the washers in between the rocker covers. Just make sure the bolts dont bottom out. Or grind the washer to the same dia. as the bolt heads.

Can also just grind down the webbing on the inside of the rocker covers, if in fact they do leak.

Actually looks like they might leak! You might wiggle them around to see if they will seat around the washers.

Only have one on my cell phone, some a$$ cut across 3 lanes, spun me out at about 70 mph and I went up a curb sideways. Only damage was front rim was trash, and bent a spindle. Made me glad I put a cage and 5 points in, 70 backwards on the freeway wasn't as bad as it sounds

I defenatey thought about that after I put the first one in, I haven't ran it yet but it seems like the sealed. With my luck I'm sure it will be a fountain :D :D

Damn what a drag, progress looks good though. I think the picture deal has something to do with the view you're using. It can be changed somewhere up top

Deathrod, go to User CP, Board Settings, and choose Serenity from the Board Skins or Theme.
