More Dyna motor work

So I got my heads back for m the porting dudes. FWIW, they look good. I could have probably buttoned up everything abd been done, except for the carb......but I forgot to get gaskets for the rocker boxes. Picked those up today.

I am still waiting for my carb.....I sent my CV to Dale at Killer Motorcycle Products for a rebuild which includes a polish and tune.

Heads are bolted up. I am using Cyco MLS head gaskets. MLS...Multi Layer Steel. The process for torqueing the heads with this type of gasket is a little different. The Harley FSM says to tighten the head bolts in a specific order to 14ft lbs then turn the headbolt 90degrees for the final torque setting. That works out to about 35ft lbs on the torque wrench.

The MLS gasket sequence is different.....following the same bolt pattern, you go to finger tight then to 9ft lbs, then to 14ft lbs, then to 22 ft lbs, then 35 ft lbs, then final torque to 42ft lbs.

The best advice is to follow the torque procedure specific to the head gasket by the head gasket manufacturer.
