Not just a new head gasket. I was thinking custom copper with fire rings or an MLS gasket.Agreed, new head gaskets and "ARP" head studs.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

I'd pop for the 12 point nuts myself as they are 120,000psi rated. I had a good long talk with the "ARP" rep and told him exactly what we needed for our multifuel engine. He was the one who recommended we use the 12 point nuts, and their install lube.Found a post from rustystud listing the ARP head stud info:
Got the part numbers from "ARP" . The studs are all 9/16" . The 6.160" long stud is # AQ6.120-1LB , price is $11.50 ea. . The 6.380" long stud is # AQ6.500-1LB , price is $12.34 ea. The 2.620" long stud does not have an exact match, but this is the closest and should work fine, #AQ3.475-1LB , price is $6.58 ea. The heavy duty washers are # 200-8515 , price is $0.96 ea. The nuts are a 12 point and are # 300-8305 , price is $8.44 ea. The grand total if you use their washers and the special 12 point nuts is $567.44 . If you only buy the studs and use your own nuts and washers the price is $304.24 . Of course shipping is extra.<br />
All the studs and nuts and washers are rated at 200,000 PSI tensile strength. This would be more then enough to hold our heads on !<br/>
Eh...his goal is 200 hp. I'm not really concerned with the bottom end. I'm more worried about head flex/lift and egt's. These heads really aren't well designed for flow and heat dissipation.You people know more about these Hyperfuel engines than I. My impression was the rods are a weak point on these engines. Those that have let loose have put a hole in the block.
What's that you're referring to, rustystud:I'd pop for the 12 point nuts myself as they are 120,000psi rated. I had a good long talk with the "ARP" rep and told him exactly what we needed for our multifuel engine. He was the one who recommended we use the 12 point nuts, and their install lube.
Yes, "ARP" sells a special assembly lube to do exactly what jeepsinker said.What's that you're referring to, rustystud:
- some proprietary anti-seize compound (applied to the threads)?
I like the idea of having your own portable fuel filter station. That way you'll always have a fuel supply as long as you take your trailer along. My buddy who owns a service station in Seattle has to pay to have his old oil hauled away. He would love to see you come over and take a few hundreds gallons of oil awayMounted up a waste oil/other fuels filter station on the front of the trailer. Need to finish the mounts and make a box for it to protect from the weather.
New hx35w arrived today as well.

Fuel for the asking:Sounds good to me!
Inform him I'll be happy to help! Like Ahrab said, its mutually beneficial haha.I like the idea of having your own portable fuel filter station.

You might want to check out service stations in your area. The reason it cost so much to have your oil removed is that the remover must be "EPA" approved for proper disposal. No dumping it in the rivers or ocean or buried in the backyard kind of stuff. Since your "using" the oil there should be no problems. In fact my buddy installed a oil fired furnace to heat his shop to help get rid of some of the oil, but even with the furnace he still has to have a lot hauled away. I haven't started to use old oil yet, but in the future I plan to set up a filter station and start blending my own fuel.Fuel for the asking:
- And it's a win for both parties (Giver/ "Givee")
- Deal doesn't get better than THAT. Nice.
Red, what is the pump your using to transfer the oil ? Where did you buy it and how much was it ? Thanks.Mounted up a waste oil/other fuels filter station on the front of the trailer. Need to finish the mounts and make a box for it to protect from the weather.
