General Recommendations for Frankenstein Cylinder Heads:

• Pushrods – Please make sure to properly check pushrod length and wall clearance. We recommend a clearance of at least
  .030” between the pushrod and the wall. Please do not clearance the pushrod holes any further. We have a minimum port
  thickness required to pass QC and that is set at our facility. Every lifter brand and style use a different pushrod length, so make
  sure to properly check the length needed for your application. We also recommend a minimum pushrod diameter of 3/8” with a
  wall thickness of (.120”).
• Surfacing – Flat or angle milling will affect flow numbers and may require a thicker intake gasket.
•  Boosted/Nitrous Applications – With any power adder applications comes increased stress and longevity issues for the
  valvetrain. We highly suggest the use of Inconel exhaust valves in any power adder combos. We also suggest our upgraded valve
  spring kits to help properly control the valve train in these stressful conditions.
•  All MARINE Applications – We strongly recommend Inconel exhaust valves & also offer a hard-anodized coating to slow the
  effects of corrosion. Please see note on guide clearance below.
•  Stock GM Rocker Arms – GM Rocker Arms are not designed/engineered to endure aggressive aftermarket cams or higher
  spring pressures/rates. At a minimum FED recommends using CHE Bushing Trunnion Kits. Without the proper parts you will
  experience accelerated guide wear over an extended period. If you are using GM stock rockers you must use ARP# 234-7207 or
  GM# 12560961 rocker bolts.
•  O-Rings – O-rings will wear out over time. Removal of components, such as headers for example, may cause O-rings to wear
  faster. We highly recommend a thorough inspection of any O-rings during removal and prior to installation. Worn or damaged
  O-rings should be replaced.
•  Valve Guide Clearance – Your FED Heads come with proper guide clearance (.0014″-.0016″) for most applications.
  Boosted/Nitrous or marine applications might require additional clearance and it is the customer’s responsibility to verify proper
  clearance in these applications.
• Valve Springs – Forced induction, nitrous oxide and cams with aggressive ramp rates may require additional spring pressure.

We offer upgraded valve springs for these types of applications. FED also recommends the use of billet 8620 cam cores and short
travel Johnson Hydraulic Roller lifters which tolerate higher spring loads. VALVE SPRINGS MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR
CAMSHAFT COMBINATION. PLEASE CHECK BEFORE ENGINE ASSEMBLY. IMPROPER SPRING AND CAMSHAFT COMBO CAN CAUSE
SEVERE DAMAGE.

•  Piston to Valve – FED assumes no responsibility for damage if the end user builds an engine without properly verifying, he
  has enough piston to valve clearance (depth and radial clearance both checked). We recommend a minimum depth of .080″ on
  the intake valve and .100″ on the exhaust with a radial clearance of .030″ minimum around the perimeter of each valve. Just
  checking depth is not enough, the position of the valve pocket must also be addressed. It is the customers responsibility to
  verify proper piston to valve clearance.
•  CNC Porting – Occasionally a 100% CNC ported head might have a very small area left “as cast”, this in no way affects
  performance.
•  Valve Spring Installed Heights – FED valve spring installed height spec is +/- .015” which is the smallest shim available for
  adjustment. This small of a difference will have no issues and should be of no concern.
•  Head Stud Sizes- The M311 Monster Series (M-Series) heads come standard with clearance for 7/16” studs or smaller for the
  center 10 bolts and the outer tabs and the deck studs are machined for 8mm standard. Studs may vary depending on the engine
  block used.
