Problems Bolting Lcb Manifold Roll Cylinder Head

Being able to remove the head on a competition car easily is a big advantage. Wrestling with more studs, engine steadies etc is a pain if you’re trying to change a head gasket it a hurry.

i use similar to Cooperman, but I use socket head cap screws as I find an extra long ball-ended hex key easier to get in past the carbs.

That makes sense as a daily Joe like myself who uses for weekend road warrior battles would not be so fussed - unless of course I crack something up:(

If not a pain in the arse, and when you have time, could you drop a picture in so I can see for myself?

thx

Pretty standard.. Namrick have them. I didn't get on with them for some reason, I still ended up taking the carbs off the manifold first.. I don't think I could get at them through the heatshield etc

I've ordered some socket head screws from Spalding Fasteners (spalding_fasteners) & Balls Fasteners (benb4ll) via ebay. Should be here in a couple of days.

Success is good and figured out my own way to do it, basically go back inside, have a pint, go back out put in all except for the last one, and muscle it in - so ready for next year when I check the valve clearance again.

At the end of the day for the weekend warrior I am going to stick with the standard manifold screws/nuts as no sense playing with something that works for me

Thank for the feedback all!!
