head gasket

[bobbed_1971]

Well I was looking at my deuce and thinking about doing the head gaskets on it soon I looked at the block I dont see a TD marking anywhere is that a bad thing.I when doing head gaskets on it everyone says the TD is the better motor I guess not sure.But was wondering if I can still do them and not have any problems where is a good place to get the special wrench and gaskets.

John Winslow will have the correct head gaskets and probably the rest of the head set gaskets you will need. He might let you borrow or rent the head nut wrench. If not M35 Tom on SS has the head gaskets for a great fair price. Non TD engines get 130 FT/LBs of torque. Sould grind .006-.008 off the 4 index pins that stick out of the block too. Vietnam mechanic taught me that.

Ok thanks gonna do mine soon where is a good place to buy a tm at eBay I'd like to have one

The "TD" should be on the right side of the engine at the front of the block toward the top.

You can download all the TM's and print the relevant parts cheaper than buying them off fleabay.
John Tennis has all the manuals on JATONKAM35s HOME ON THE WEB or you can go to Free Military Army Manuals! and there are also other sites that have them. Save your money for parts!

Saturn Surplus has the wrench listed for sale. I think it was $45.

You really should get yourself a new set of head bolts: I would go with studs.
ARP makes the best!

Head bolts have a built in stretch factor; once stretched, that's it.
When you torque those bolts to spec, they stretch, and they must not be re-used.

You really don't want to want to preform two head jobs on the same truck.

The multi has head studs.

The 'special wrench' can be fabricated in minutes. Just use an extension and a closed end wrench cut short.

Then go to: Torque Wrench Adapter Calculator - CNCexpo.com Calculate the torque and getter done.

I always get an apposing view when I try to explain the torque stretch spec.
Studs stretch too!

I am from the old school.

Did you know that when you install a set of studs, the thread that is inserted into the block should only be torqued to 20 Lbs. ???

That's old school too!
It was all we had before the internet improved apon it.

That wasn't an "apposing" view. You stated that the OP should get new head bolts, but you'd go with studs 'cause they're better.

Did you try a radiator leak sealer before you delved into such a huge project?
