Heads Install - Good News / Bad News Finally got my 6.0L heads installed 
and it fired up on the first try
Heads
Heat cycled the springs. Changed the pulley from a 4.10 to a 3.70. Set the tranny to shift @ 6200 instead of 6800.
Went for a test run. Hit 10# of boost @6800.
Check the tune and adjusted it again for 6200.
2nd run, hit 8# of boost @ 6300. Then started to hear a little knock. I am guessing a rod.
Timing was still set @ 17* and no detonation.
Knock

Shouldn't keep you down too long. Gotta really tighten them crank bolts or they will back out everytime.

It is over-kill but I pin every one I do....
***Edit***
Was this already pinned???

THIS will hold the a4 and enably you to tighten bolts
Home make a tool to hold crank to allow tighten pulley bolt, insert the tool into flywheel , remove round plug ( about 2-3 inch dia. ) on bottom of of flywheel cover to insert tool
make tool useing flat bar about 12-14 in long
1/4 x 2 x 14 ( notch in the side will allow the tool to hold itself in place by cetching on side of hole)
botton out pullet flush with end of crank with old bolt ,install new bolt torque to 37 lb then pull another 120 degrees if you do not have a compass to get the right degrees ( stop and think ) mark the bolt at 180 degrees and at 90 degrees then mark 1/2 between the two marks which i think will be about 135 degrees so you may go eather 140 degrees or 120 degrees from there ,
sorry the picture does not show up correct, tool
should be about 2 in WIDE
