Re: superstock hemi heads
Aren't the valve cover bolt holes on a Hemi to the inside of the gasket rail? Here's a picture on the following website to show what I am talking about.
http://www.dvorakmachine.com/HemiRockerStands.shtml If that is the case, then the entire gasket rail would be totally cut off on the intake side to reach the valve cover bolt holes. I can see where that would be an issue when someone building hemi heads cuts the head back far enough to remove the gasket rail and the valve cover gasket has to be seated to the intake manifold or to an added spacer. That is just flat wrong and any head modified like that should be DQ'd. |

Re: superstock hemi heads
Until I saw the picture of the position of the VC bolts I could not understand what all the fuss was about. Now I can agree with those who want the heads disqualified.
NHRA needs to enforce the rule. |

Re: superstock hemi heads
CW posted the latest news on Moparts.559,559M,559M-1 heads will be allowed to break thru at the intake flange surface,but the hole at the top(v/c gasket surface) must remain intact and in stock location.Heads already milled into the bolt hole need to be replaced. Check his post on Moparts to be sure I got it correct.
