G/N-1 Heads

Hey Guys this is not the heads to the block its the headers to the heads. ATR headers to G/N-1 heads thanks.

U referring to the heads, or the headers, or both?
My ATR's came w/ copper gaskets.

G/N-1 Heads

Hey Chuck these are brand new ATR headers going on G/N-1 heads! I will be putting on copper header gaskets.

I found..

that the threads in the header bolt holes were not tapped to the bottom of the holes. So, I added Helicoils to all holes.
That cured the problem of the low thread count, and the possible problem w/ alum threads giving up...
I also made sure I had a good turbo support, to minimize the load on the header.

Use Studs

Go with a course/fine thread 3/8 stud and you can put a lot more tq and clamp on them than just a 3/8 course thread bolt going into alum threads. Especially since the flanges will eventually warp and you will need to put some extra lovin on them to get them to seal. I'm not sure but I think a 3/8 course thread hole in alum can only be tq'ed to 20-25#/ft and you can just about double that with the fine thread stud. Google it I'm sure there something out there on it I know I saw it somewhere.

X2 on the studs. I have had good luck with 35 ft.lbs. and using no gaskets. This was with TA headers though.
