General Recommendations for Frankenstein Cylinder Heads:
Pushrods: Verify pushrod length and ensure at least .030” wall clearance. Do not enlarge pushrod holes further.
Surfacing: Milling affects flow and may require thicker intake gaskets and port alignment.
Boosted/Nitrous: Use Inconel exhaust valves and upgraded valve springs for reliability under high stress.
Marine: Use Inconel exhaust valves and consider hard-anodized coating for corrosion resistance.
Valve Guides: FED sets proper clearance, but boosted/nitrous/marine setups may need more—verify before use.
Valve Springs: Aggressive cams or power adders may need higher spring pressure. Check spring/cam compatibility before assembly.
Piston-to-Valve: Verify clearance (.080” intake, .100” exhaust, .030” radial). FED or TRE not responsible for damage due to improper clearance.
CNC Porting: Minor “as cast” areas are normal and don’t affect performance.
Installed Height: ±.015” variance is acceptable and harmless.
Rockers: Stock GM rockers aren’t suited for aggressive setups—use CHE trunnion kits.
O-Rings: Inspect and replace worn O-rings during service.
Head Studs: Confirm correct diameter and length for your setup.
