Could I have a problem... post head install
Could I have a problem... post head install Just finished up my Dart 205/Morels/Green Tops install and after reading another thread, I dont know if I may have a problem or not. Here is the problem.
When installing the rockers, I used a hi-temp thread sealant to keep the oil from working its way down the threads and into the runner. Should I have used locktight?
On a side note, the install went great. The valvetrains actually more quiet than with the stock lifters, although I may have had too little preload (~.050 too little) before the swap. Running .043 on the morels with a 7.325 PR.

You should be fine. If you want, check em out after about ~500miles and see how there doing. If they are backing off, then put some locktight.
BTW, how much power are you expecting to gain with those heads? I have pretty much the same setup, cam too!! I love my F14 cam. Pulls like a *****

Thanks,
I'll check them after a while, unless I start to hear something earlier.
Rebelord,
Its hard to say and I'll never really know, as I didn't dyno before the heads. With the setup in my sig, I'm hoping to see 440. I'm going to start working on the tune, so I should have some numbers pretty soon.
