Piston Dome to Combustion Chamber Clearance
3.
Rocker Arm to Valve Cover Clearance
4.

Installation is the same as for original equipment cylinder heads.
Consult a service manual for specific procedures, if necessary. For
454 and small Mark IV engines, use Fel-Pro head gasket #1017-1, or
equivalent. For 502 c.i.d. Gen V and Gen VI engines, use Fel-Pro head
gasket #1047 or equivalvent. Be sure that the surface of the block and
the surface of the head are cleaned thoroughly to romove any oily film
before installation. Use alcohol or lacquer thinner on a lint-free rag to
clean. Apply liquid Teflon PST or suitable thread sealer to head bolt
threads that thread into coolant passages. Torque the head bolts to 70
ft-lbs in three steps, following the factory tightening sequence
(See
Fig. 1)
. A re-torque is recommended after initial start-up and cool-
down (Allow 2-3 hours for adequate cooling).
