 Cracked head!!!Anybody running aftermarket heads had them crack like this before?
After two years of running great just clank clank clank when I was running in one morning. Motor only revs to 4300 and the heads were ported, decked, rockers, rods, and new valves/springs. P.S. anybody have starboard stock head lying around ?

Re: Cracked head!!! Maybe this is why some reinforced this area with welding.

Re: Cracked head!!! This is the very reason why Hoyt @ GatorTail reinforces the rocker bridge with weld.

Re: Cracked head!!! Factory rockers do it too, but double wound springs and heavy ass rr's don't help any.

Re: Cracked head!!! F*** this is what I get for not being on the forum for a while, where do they reinforce with weld? Or let me guess... Exactly where mines broke.
And I bought them slightly used a long time ago _________________ 18x58 w/healthy GTR 35 "A good friend will bail you out of jail but a true friend will be sitting by you saying damn that was fun" |
