dan,the iron head is a completly different anamil.you will be fine with those studs for your application but since you already have them out measure the depth of the bosses,i think you could go a little longer on the short one.

We still changed them out for the correct longer studs that dart recommends for the iron eagle head, since I happened to have them in stock . :bigbird:

Have a magic wand you can wave over a valve train and it becomes perfect. Not sure what you are getting at. I on the other hand was simply trying to give the OP I different idea than what was posted by others as what to look for.

read your post bb,then read what the op posted,than admit you are wrong,no shame in that.

Having seen a few bad sets and warned by a few who build motors and heads for a living of the pitfalls. It was recommended to me by someone who builds some of the fastest heads in the world that if weight wasn't a concern the race series head was the way to go. For those reasons I have steered clear of them.

i should have known this is how you would respond,i guess you can never be wrong,an for sure will never admit when you are.just keep spewing your bullchit,that is what we have come to expect from you.dart has sold hendreds of thousands of the pro1 heads ,i guess they are all junk,WTF.

I'd like to think that if there was a flaw in Dart's pro 1 heads, even for drag racing solid roller applications, Reher morrison, Shafiroff, sunset racecraft, race flow development (curtis boggs), and many many others, would have stopped using them a long time ago, and certainly not still using them, to this day.

first you claimed they have geomitry problems,than they are too lite,now some HEAD BUILDER told you to steer clear of them,do you ever run out of bullchit?

I can't find anything wrong with the head. The lock nuts are all the exact same height ( straight edge straight ) The boss is perfect. I don't for the life of me know why there is this pattern on the bottom of the valve cover. Looking at the cover that is a low spot in the face of the cover. There are other marks on the cover but none as pronounced as this one. Nothing seams broken here.

Thank You MT I was waiting to see how long it took before someone stated the obvious.
