dep5 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Can anyone supply a photo of the cylinder head torque tightening sequence for a 1934-37 Airflow CW engine?This 384 cid straight 8 engine has a top mounted distributor. We have used generic tightening patterns in the past but it would be nice to have a published reference to share. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwellens Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Here is a sequence listed in the Motors manual. Does not specify Airflows,but, you would think all chrysler 8 cyl would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dep5 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Many Thanks for your efforts and good intentions but the small block 8 cylinder head JPG you posted does not not have a top mounted distributor, does not provide for the two extra bolts at the distributor tower/boss on big block 1931-37 CG-CH-CL-CL*-CW Imperials.

dep5 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Ok, there seem to be no source for a 1931-37 Cyl Head Torque Sequence for 384 straight 8 engine so I will share the one I have always used. Since the cylinder head studs are 1/2", I use 60-65 foot pounds torque: 35 foot pounds 1st, then 50 and 65.PS: I doctored an existing small eight pattern to suit.
