[randallp1]

i am building my 460 this weekend and I have a few questions. I have the hd studs no fan but dont plan on riding it for more than 10mins at a time for drag racing. What are the tourque specs on the head and what is the jetting yall are using for a 39 mm fcr. i have the st 3 cam and port work. Let me know guys i really appreciate it!!!

i was using a 170 now im using a 165.so i would say start with a 165 and see how it goes i do plan on trying a 167 or 168 soon.

I tighted my head nuts to 33ft lbs broke the engine in and retighted to 35ft lb to make sure the haed gasket has less of a chance to blow

ya if u look in a manual lets say a clymer manual it says 33 ft lbs so i would do what gray said
tighten them to 33 ft lbs break the motor in and then retighten them

ok the build is complete but its not running. I only had a little shot of race fuel left (only about 3 cups) and i couldnt get it to pop. I put my hand over the exhaust to feel what was going on and it was actually had a suction into the pipe!!! I put the lobes down!! I got some really loud backfires but no run. Any tips has a stroker ever just started up for anyone? I am going to try to pull start it tomm.
