FE Technical Forum / Re: question on intake fit
« on: February 23, 2025, 08:53:02 AM »
I am here to testify that Edl does make machining mistakes occasionally. While port matching a Street Master intake it was discovered that the distributor hole was approx. .030 off to one side. This was corrected and worked fine.

You didn't mention the thickness of the intake gaskets but I will suggest thicker gaskets which are available. This will bring the intake up in relation to the heads. As for the cork end gaskets, I would suggest using a bead of sealer if you have time to let it cure.

   I have been stocking up on VR1 at Walmart at a cost of around $26.00 per 5 quarts. a good deal. Don't know how long this supply will last, thus stocking up.

I did fit a straight edge along the rocker studs as installed in the head and they appeared to be in good alignment as was the spacing. Also to be clear, there is no doubt that said mounting holes were definitely off center and centering the offending holes cured the problem.

FE Technical Forum / Heads up, Harland Sharp rocker shafts
« on: February 11, 2025, 06:15:42 PM »
Was having trouble sliding rocker assys. down over the mounting studs. Upon inspection I discovered stud holes in the shafts are off center as much as .025 and as most of you know that converts to .050 tir. I have corrected this on my shafts but not everyone has a milling machine handy. Now don't get me wrong, I love my HS rockers and am aware HS have a fine product. Just something to be aware of.

  Despite my meticulous record keeping methods (huh?) I cannot find the data slip for my ARP rocker mounting studs. Not wanting to guess at it, someone please chime in with the torque spec for said studs. Thanks.

All FEs have the same flywheel bolt pattern whether internal or external balanced.

Answering my own question. Charted with the rotary table on the mill.. If the photo will come through here it is.

Do any of you have FE flywheel bolt pattern dimensions either in XY straight line charting or in degrees ( I believe all holes are on a common BC dimension). I am making a flywheel balancing mandrel and do not wish to transfer locations from a flywheel, might end up with a bad copy of a poor original!

FE Technical Forum / reuseable head gasket
« on: December 28, 2024, 02:15:58 PM »
  To what extant and under what circumstances are Cometic MLS head gaskets reusable? The set I have are quite thin at .026 if it matters and I am using ARP head studs. Also FYI my actual bore size is 4.270 so I ordered 4.400 gaskets and the gasket clears the bore with approx .060 or so quite evenly all around.

   Question, do the quoted bore sizes for various head gasket applications (Comedic specifically) refer to the engine bore size or do they refer to the actual diameter on the gasket? Info that I have seen seems murky. My application is a .040 over 427 FE .030 compressed thickness. As these are a bit pricey I would prefer to order the correct gaskets the first time. Any info appreciated.
