case dc engine question

tooltimejim · May 16, 2009

I want to re-torque the head bolt nuts on my case dc. Was wondering if there is a special kind of torque wrench to do this with rocker assembly bolted on. I can get to about half of the head bolts, but rocker prevents my torque socket to get to the others. thanks, Jim

I would just remove the rocker arm assembly. When I had to retorque heads on Farmall M & Hs, I just remove the rocker arm assembly, retorque, replace rocker arms and reset valve lash.

I have used a aircraft wrench designed to tighten up the jugs on aircaft engines to torque the heads of the 124-164 engines. I use grade 8 nuts on them that are the same size as DC head nuts and I think it would go under the rockers of a DC.

I just made a tool out of a wrench and a socket, welded them together and it works perfectly. Just keep in mind there is a leverage coefficient when seting the torque.
