Need help spending my money!!
OK...I have finally saved up enough money for my next round of mods. I am going to do a clutch and head mods to get ready for my HX35/40 and HT3B twins setup. Head mods will include studs, fire rings, valve springs. I am pretty sure that I want the SB 3600 12CB double disk clutch (and upgraded input shaft) but I have also looked into the Haisley street puller. Now all of this is flexible so please throw out your ideas. I am also looking for the best shops to talk to for the goodies. I am in southern central PA so I would at least like to get the machine work done on the head within a few hours of home. The rest of the stuff can be mail ordered from anywhere. Give me your ideas and suggestions as well as what else I should do while I have the head off. I am already planning on pulling the motor as I will have the head and tranny out I might as well pull the block and paint/polish everything up. Thanks for the help!!

Give Doug Smith at PDW a call, goes by Jetpilot on here. He's probably the closest to you. http://www.performancedieselwarehouse.com/

wheelin66- O-rings are only for the head, I used a modified marine gasket on my 24valve when I did it. Wire protrusion is only .010 to .020" and its placed right in the center of the gasket's firering.

Thank you very much JD, I did not know that. Do you know why some people say orings are more reliable than firerings? What made you decide to go with orings? Thanks for the picture too, that is the first one I have seen with the machining!

How far the wire sticks out from the bottom surface of the head.
IIRC- O-Rings are more stable, because the gasket is still there, less metal to expand/contract than with firerings. Firerings need more maintanance work. Could be wrong there, but that is my understanding, not explained real well.
