How To Install 302/351 Mustang Cylinder Heads & Valvetrain (1979-1995)

[@dntlss]

Damn,nothing more beautiful than a brand new engine!

[@ReaperZ383]

I really love these videos but the background music needs to go.

[@lawrencer588]

agreed, he could also speak a little slower

[@babyhuez597]

I second that! Not sure why people think need to add loud horrible music to their videos.

[@ericoxford7069]

Very good informative video! One thing that I like to do is cut away the exposed gaskets from the water pump and timing cover with an Exacto knife. To me, that looks a little cleaner and only takes a few minutes. Cheers!

[@Dante-tt5bz]

can you explain more how to install roller rockers because I don't get it thank you the video shows the guy installing the rockers on cylinder 3

At 5m 00s you say to fit intake and exhaust rockers arms to #1 Cyl but in the pic they're already fitted and the guys fitting then to #3 cyl. You then advise to turn the crank 90° and fit to #3 ..... but he's already done it lol.

[@Mattman7991]

This video was a huge help for my 302 thanks soooo much!

[@lostone9320]

Skip to 2:45. Before that it’s sales.

[@latemodelrestoration]

The video is already chaptered so viewers can skip over the intro. Thanks. -Landan

[@vadneysean72]

Ive seen people in comments be upset about the amount of torque used. OEM on mine is a hex head bolt. ARP use a flange head bolt. The book states, (use ft lbs for all but final!) hex use a 2 step of 55 to 65 then 65 to 72. I switched to ARP (flange head) so its a 3 step process 25 to 35 then 45 to 55 and a final of 85 to 95 DEGREES rotation. This is verbatim. It does not mention a 3rd to 80ft lbs or just the top bolts but ALL bolts.

[@rheidtech]

Getting excited.

[@arzdaman]

nice now all I need is a valvetrain video for my 4.6 3v

[@arzdaman]

sounds like you own a slow chevy got rid of that car long ago anyway

[@arzdaman]

@I love GSNews no thanks I dont want a handjob

[@9Apilot]

The book says after the 70 ft lb pass to torque all the upper head bolts to 80.

[@mikecodester]

Is this still true? The uppers go to 80

[@vadneysean72]

Whos book? Final 3rd Pass for flange bolts is 85 to 95 degrees. Hex heads only have a 2 step process ending at 72 ft lbs max.

[@yellowdoghnut45]

Whats the best way to turn the crank 90° while its still in the engine bay?

[@chunkafunk81]

breaker bar and a short extension

[@jamiet870]

If you’re not using poly locks would you recommend using any particular grade of thread lock on the rocker bolts? (Crane 1.7’s). This vid is really helpful simplest I’ve found to follow so far!

[@matrixbikes]

I'm not sure on the water pump bolt position. On the video LMR showing about the the water pump bolts the positioning is way different. Now what is the right one??? Please let me know!

[@latemodelrestoration]

Please reference this diagram: cdn.lrsstatic.com/downloads/instructions/timingcover_waterpumpdiagram.pdf Hope this answers your question! -Landan

[@TilltheWheelsFallOff]

Yea I noticed that as well. In this video, he has a stud in the left water pump hole when there should be a bolt. Hopefully he catches it when he double and triple checks everything!

[@lenwhite9901]

About 4 minutes in you indicate to use thread sealant on the lower bolts. Since it goes through the water jacket, what specific thread sealant do you suggest?

[@FNKleviaTHIN]

hey, i know im 8 years late, but I was just wondering, whats the difference between fastener assembly lube, and regular assembly lube?

[@FNKleviaTHIN]

and can I use regular assembly use in place of it?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Fastener lube is formulated specifically to duplicate all fastener preload specifications. You see this with higher end hardware such as ARP. Assembly lube is formulated to protect new or freshly machined parts from wear after staring the engine following a build. -Landan

[@Gmed11]

120 ft lbs broke my bolt for my cam into the block thanks

[@latemodelrestoration]

Sorry to hear that, but where is that spec mentioned in the video? -Landan

[@eZaFJDUBB]

can you use stock valve covers and intake manifold?

[@Scarlett5PointWoah]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@kennyhendricks6260]

Need some help, does the smaller head bolts go thru a coolant passage on a 351w? There is so much of a debate. Can you answer this plz. I now have coolant seeping in between the block and head

[@lightningvolt1273]

What makes these aftermarket push rods any better?

[@jaym9879]

Yess

[@sn95cobra90]

I just rebuilt my 95 went with a set of canton valve covers they clear rockers fine but altinator doesn't fit anyone else run into this problem?

[@Lilzsnr]

I had the same issue using a set of tall aluminum valve covers on my engine with the high mount alternator. I took half to 3/4 of an inch off of the valve cover face down to the mounting flange and then welded in a 3mm flat plate. After paint it looks factory and is still miles away from #1 cyl intake valve train.

[@Fastbois559]

would I run into any problems putting a set of gt 40 heads on my 94 gt without a comp cam .?

[@hector971000]

Chern889 has a video up about the GT 40 heads in a 94

[@michaelstarframes8787]

Why the silly music???

[@modlist6129]

What roller rockers are those? I can't find them in your website

[@latemodelrestoration]

Those particular roller rockers are only sold with our top end kits. -Landan

[@dufus2273]

use scorpian. cheaper and just as good as more expensive.i've put them on 4 engines

[@austinbateman5918]

I need rockers arms like this ones

[@latemodelrestoration]

I am sorry, but this set is no longer available through LMR.

[@trevoroneal]

Awesome video!

[@THUGLIFEhks]

I have a question I've been debating for a while, what kind of headers fit the gt40x heads? I've read somewhere we need special bigger headers? Can someone please help

[@latemodelrestoration]

The GT40X heads have the same spark plug location has a factory head. While the exhaust ports are larger, most aftermarket headers will work. -Landan

[@EricNguyener]

Late Model Restoration Would a 302's stock ported headers work with GT40X heads? I plan on just porting my lower and possibly picking up a set of GT40P heads if all else fails.

[@02powertube]

So, are the heads the same, or is there a left and right head?

[@latemodelrestoration]

These cylinder heads are not side specific. -Landan

[@shawnwatkins7533]

what is the song they're playing? It's killing me I can't think of it it's on the tip of my tongue

[@justincolfax2408]

What heads are those

[@jikck]

Can you put GT40 heads on a 351

[@latemodelrestoration]

A 351W, yes. The 1993-1995 Lightnings were equipped with GT40 heads. -Landan

[@jikck]

Ok sweet thanks

[@claytonthomas4957]

Hello

[@WhatsCookinToday]

I can’t deal with the music. It makes it hard to follow along. Sorry!

[@robertserrano7139]

I bought a B-303 cam with new roller lifters new springs and new spring retainers. When I called comp cams one guy told me to buy 8 1.375" retainers and 8 1.437 retainers. I was wondering why I need 2 different sizes. Is one size intake and one size exhaust or was I just told to buy the wrong stuff? I have a 302 with stock heads I'm just changing out the few things I mentioned. Anything helps, thanks.

[@latemodelrestoration]

Hey Robert, the intake and the exhaust do take different sizes. As when it comes to those specific sizes, those are most likely correct by what Comp Cams told you.

[@robertserrano7139]

@@latemodelrestoration would you happen to know which one is for intake and which one is for exhaust by any chance?

[@tuxedomechanic6019]

Is this motor for sale?

[@juanantoniog.690]

It's a good video,just eliminate the music,make nervous to anyone 😢

[@robertvco]

dawnnn this music in the background is really anoying

[@Banshee2Raptor]

I was going to thumbs up this video, but it had 420 likes. Hahaaaa.

[@bbbk53]

i jus did 428th

[@JoseMorales-ep7id]

Anyone here ever ran the SVE heads? There cheap but are they to cheap?

[@brettfrimmer6567]

Casting itself is not bad. It’s the valve job and valvetrain components that are garbage. You buy them you got put all new valves and springs on them and get a good valve job, by that point you can just get better trickflow heads.

[@matrixbikes]

I'm sorry but you should soak the lifters in oil over night and the cylinder head torque should be 80 lb. No matter if it is iron or aluminum heads.

[@jperkey7089]

That is NOT the same firing order I got my 302 firing on!!!? What's the deal with that!?!!

[@chunkafunk81]

5.0 roller is diffrent than a non roller 302. 351 windsor and 5.0 roller or" H.0." are the same

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

over edited with crap music and stupid talk over = better channels else where !

[@kevincraig5311]

😂

[@chelle9307]

I would recommend deleting this video and making a new one. Way too many mistakes
