I am ready to install the head on the D2 4U.  Is it best to put the ferrules and grommets in the head or on the block?  Also planning to get some Prematex super 300 to coat both sides of a new head gasket.  Am I on the right track?  Thank You for any ideas,  Gary

Hi Gary, I put the ferrules and o-rings in the head, and did not apply anything to the head gasket. I don't have any leaks and had no problem fitting the head. I can't say though whether the other options are better

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
