Head pressure

From Steve304 on 12/23/2014 2:49:28 PM

I recently became the proud owner of a beautiful used Cimarron and am loving it.  I was wondering what the proper head pressure should be for the Cimarron.   The head seemed a little loose on this one when I received it.  I have tightened the head a bit and it has definitely made a positive difference. Any help on the best head pressure would be great.  Thanks

Are you using a drum dial or tuning to a note? My head on my Heirloom is set at 89 on a drum dial.

I have a Rosemary and I have it set at 90. I too use a drum dial. Good luck

Thanks for the help all. I set the head pressure at 90 and it definitely made an improvement.
