S&S Cycle Super Stock Cylinder Heads for 1966–1984 Shovelhead Models - Manual (Page 7)

6 7
NOTE: S&S® has encountered interference between head bolts and cylinder with some imported aftermarket cylinders. S&S head bolts 93-3024 (10 each
required) will usually solve problem.
E. Insert manifold between intake ports, insuring that fit is correct and gaps between manifold and cylinder heads equal on both sides. See
Picture 6, below left. At this point, cylinder heads may be rotated slightly for best manifold fit.
F. Remove manifold and tighten head bolts as described in Harley-Davidson® Service Manual. Recommended torque is 65 ft-lbs.
NOTE: Several head bolts are difficult to reach. Curved wrenches are helpful. They are available from Mac Tools, Craftsman®, and other sources.
5. Replace Parts Removed for Installation
A. Replace manifold o-rings or bands as needed, and install manifold.
B. Remove nuts from drive side of intake rocker shafts, taking care not to misplace thin washers. Install top engine mount with 7⁄16-14 x 11⁄4" bolts
provided. Use washers to fill any gap between engine mount and cylinder heads or frame. In some instances, customer-provided shims may
be required to completely fill gap. See Picture 7, above right. Once proper fit has been established, remove bolts, apply Loctite® 242 to
threads, and reinstall. Tighten bolts in head to 54 ft-lbs. Frame bolt should be tightened according to torque specification chart in Harley-
Davidson® Service Manual. Replace rocker shaft nuts and washers.
Failure to properly shim engine mount can cause vibration and stress resulting in damage to engine or frame.
