| + | ===== Cleaning the Case Threads ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The threads on the head studs as well as in the case need to be clean and free of rust / debris and they need to be straight in order to obtain proper torque on the heads. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The photos below are of before (L) and after (R) chasing the case threads with a 3/8"x16 tap. \\ | ||
| + | The dirty threads will add preload to the torque readings and can easily give false readings on the wrench which could affect head gasket performance. \\ | ||
