<< I called Crower and told them what happened, they were very surprised
that Summit would even consider selling these parts "piecemeal" and not
in kit form. They told me the washers would have prevented this from
happening, and that the new pushrod/guideplate kit was only necessary
when exceeding the factory redline.
I pulled all the studs, cleaned out the holes and studs with carb
cleaner, and re-assembled everything with lock-tite this time. Also
raised the torque setting to 24# from 20# as per Crower. Did a
compression check on #3 cyl and it was fine. >>
You didn't use the washers and you ran into problems?
I'm hitting the factory rev limiter left and right, no problems tho..... The
back of the stud is nice and round, no chamfer, and there's no chamfer on the
head... the sure-lock bolt went on just fine and had plenty of threads...
what's the need for the washers? Doesn't make sense to me, and I certainly
wouldn't put a washer inbetween anything and a cylinder head.
