I heard its a pretty easy thing, but would like some intruction from someone that has done it. Torque specs and so on. Thanks.
Instructions on installing domes in RT
- Thread starter goofy
- Start date
anybody?
dome install
I put some RKT domes in, pretty easy actually. The torque setting in the race manual is I believe 11foot pounds plus 45 degrees(if I can remember), a knowledgable guy on Dootalk in the Mach section advised it works out to 29-30foot pounds, I confirmed this somewhere else as well. So mine are at 30foot pnds and works well. Oh yeah I used a thread lube on the bolts.
There is a sequence as well so make sure you follow it! My main PC is apart and the manual is on it so I can't forward it, sorry. If you go on Dootalk and search you may find it, not sure if its on here b/c new forum updated.
I took off the rave set up as well too clean, you likely will break that gasket so get a new one(the paper one).
The antifreeze drain is through a hole on bottom of sled behind belly pan, just take out rubber plug and use allen wrench to unscrew plug, drain coolant, unhook hose lines up top, electrical connections, knock sensor, head bolts then it pulls off.
You will have inner and outer O ring gaskets, they are cheap so I replaced them all, but haven't on other motors I've been into, its up to you. Reassemble in reverse.
Thats all I can remeber right now, pretty straight forward, I know it gives you step by step in the manual tho.
