head bolts tool

Bill UK · 05-20-2008, 07:42 PM

Mine where very similar to these Sealy, You need to be very careful when fitting the new seals, I managed to split two of mine. If the head needs to be skimmed by a machine shop I would ask them for a price for re cutting the valves seats, inserting new seals and reset the valve lifter shims, they will also do a pressure test. You may find by the time you’ve bought all the tools; dial gauge micrometers, and the rest you could be halfway towards paying the machine shop to do it.

There’s a good guide HERE for adjusting valve shims.

Is there any difference between 7MTGE and 7MGE head bolts? Where would I buy ARP bolts for 7MGE?
Thanks!

No difference. Use the moly and follow arp's torque spec of 70lbs.

MIke,
Do you know where better to buy it?
Thank you

one more question....

Something was squeaking under hood when bought this car with blown engine. I thought that was a water pump but now I'm not sure because it looks good to me...
Do you guys have any ideas? 110,000 mileage
Thank you

Guys,

What socket do I have to use with ARP bolts? My current 14 doesn't hold more than 60ft/lbs.Maybe I need better quality socket....
Thank you!

ARP studs/bolts are made in the US, I think your find they are imperial (inch) use a 9/16 long reach socket with a 3/8 drive, if your torque wrench is 1/2 use an adaptor. Thread size is 12 mm x 1.25 just in case you need to clean out the holes in the bock, which I recommend you do.

Thanks Bill. It's done now with 90ft/lbs.
I have a next question. How properly to clean the cold start injector? It's dirty and I would like to clean it up.
