I'm installing a set of competition series Jesels on a set of 23* heads and need to know how much to torque the stands and shaft bolts. I went on Jesel and could not find the correct application.
They have the stands at 60-65 and the shafts at 26-28 lbs, is this correct?
need to get it back together for this weekend.
Any help apreciated.
thanks
Al

You are correct for alum heads.65-70 for iron. The bolts hooking the stands together are 12 lbs, and the adjuster nuts are 25 lbs. Watch that the rockers line up straight with the valves. On my dart 360s I had to put a .030 shim between the stands to kick 8 of the valves over to line up straight. If this is the 1st time, make sure the stands dont sit on top of the head studs, a few of mine did and had to cut the top of the stud down. Good Luck,TC This is a BB?
