| Description_TRA | Be sure that the surface of the block and the surface of the head is thoroughly cleaned to remove any oily film before installation. |

| Description_TRA | The Edelbrock #8550 is made specifically for small block Chevy V8 • Installation is the same as for original equipment cylinder heads. Consult service manual for specific procedures; if necessary. •Use Edelbrock head gasket #7310. #7310 has a flattened steel O-ring around each bore and will provide an excellent; long lasting seal. However; it will compress the aluminum and you must use #7310 for subsequent gasket changes to get a good seal. •Be sure that the surface of the block and the surface of the head is thoroughly cleaned to remove any oily film before installation. •Use alcohol or lacquer thinner on a lint-free rag to clean. Apply RTV silicone or ARP thread sealer to head bolt threads; and apply engine oil or ARP lubricant to the head bolt washers and underside of bolt heads. •Torque bolts to 65 ft./lbs. in three steps (40-55-65); following the factory tightening sequence (See Figure 3). Check to make sure engine has proper grounds to chassis. When pouring coolant back in the radiator make sure to use at least a 50/50 mixture of coolant to water. A re-torque is recommended after initial start-up and cool-down (allow 2-3 hours for adequate cooling). |
