Clearwater cylinder head

[FMS88]

Kevin's remarks, my laziness & time constrains, cost of the work stalls and excessive wear on the old valve train helped me to make the command decision to install the complete head as sent to me from Clearwater and avoid learning anything new :^)

There's a lot to be said for expediency. Probably worth it to clean the other EGR passages in case their obstruction is contributing to the minor drivability issues. Also, if the head gasket manufacturer recommends it, check the head bolt torque after a few hundred miles. Otherwise, all looks good. Well done.

I love your saying WELL DONE

We did the 3rd stage of head bolt torque when the engine was hot 75ft lbs...

Googled engine miss today & PCV should be replaced too ~ old PCV is about 4 years old...

Somewhere I have a booklet about adjusting the Mikuni carburetor which I must review & Google how to tune air/fuel mixture screw etc... My FSM 1986 Ram50 has some carb & EGR info too...

If the above parts are inspected tested adjusted (and check for vacuum leaks) then engine should run and idle a tad better...

The mechanics at MCBH Five O Motors said the cylinder head replacement job is a money maker costing about $2,000.00 here in paradise ~ all together it still cost me about $1,000.00

FMS88 did you see the two photo albums I made for Clearwater cylinder head job..?

Good Night
