Sounds simple but make sure you have the plug wires in the correct firing order It happens....

So last night I simply rested the manifold on the gaskets and a bead of rtv. I hand tightened a manifold bold in each of the four corners. I planned on going back today and torquing all 12 bolts down to spec in that Mopar sequence. I should be able to fill it back with water (test run) and fire...

I went with these this time around ---https://i.imgur.com/K2a1o0L.jpg

Locating pins were never there (at least when I got into the motor) ---https://i.imgur.com/oLQVCLw.jpg

I actually had steel gaskets installed Seems like a lot of blue rtv was missing from this drivers so read water hole I used the fl1213 today (which are felt) I'll let it cure overnight before I test it out ---https://i.imgur.com/cgzTtBq.png

I'm headed to advance auto now to pick up a new set of FL1213 gaskets then rip it apart tonight and I'll take pics of the aluminum guide plates

Not here. The heads were off the engine for well over a year. I even posted pics here. I need to find them on my Google drive. I know I have the pics showing no pins were installed. I guess I need to rip this thing apart again and start over

I think I just fumbled the install I don't think the manifold is warped I doubt they milled that much as it was a $300 "go through p&p job" I just bolted the intake on and started it up The first time I had really high revs like I had leak in my intake gasket No water was leaking then I then...

Aluminum intake

Operator error I had the engine professionally built and it ran fine for 50k miles Decided to put on some new heads so I grabbed a set from junkyard and had machine shop work them over. Then I installed the fresh heads and now I have this leak. So the leak is my fault. There were no...

This Knockoff ran fine on my engine for about 3 yrs and 50k of daily driven miles. No leaks. I replaced the heads and thats when the leak started.

I used the regular FL1213 gasket That SFL1213 is only available at Summit Is there really a difference in that Summit only version? Is it superior to the regular FL1213?

Thanks but multiple brands with multiple levels of quality of gaskets I wanted to get the tried and true FABO consensus on gaskets work great and which ones are trash. I think I even installed this gasket set Yolo linked Maybe I needed more silicone or a different type (I used the blue rtv)...

So I filled up the radiator yesterday and my intake leaks exactly like this video. It is leaking from the rear drivers side I guess I have to reinstall the gasket but who makes the best one that doesn't leak? I have a 360 with knock off air gap intake.

Demonracer Demonracer came through for the rescue and got me straigthened out today. Thanks again!!!! Basically, threads were full of crap so we spent all the time running a tap down each hole. Then the lifters sat so long that they filled with oil and were all pumped up so it made it a little...

New set of heads. Old ones got junked and reused rocker assembly on new heads.

Yup using the manual pages someone posted above (THANKS FOR THIS) I was able to correctly orient the shafts with the oiling holes going in the correct direction (pointed towards valve springs) Heads need to come off and and sent back to machine shop to remove this next bolt I snapped (this is...

Good news... That worked for passenger side Bad news.... It doesn't seem to be working for drivers side Worst news.... Sinching down last bolt on passenger side and snapped it #*(^@*(!&$)*()#*)(*#)$*(#()*% this is a family site so I'll hold some choice words for these grade 5 bolts and I...

http://i.imgur.com/RXv6GA9.jpg How do I "bump" the cam so it relieves pressure off the valve? You can see how high one pushrod is sitting in this picture If I could spin the motor/cam over I'd be able to have the valve/pushrod sit lower so I could tighten down the bolt

http://i.imgur.com/QD4Evm4.jpg rocker bolts are all same length head bolts were different lengths

I have the two biggest retainers on the ends and the small ones in the middles. All lifters are in their cups

Heads are on engine. Those are the correct bolts. I know about the ft lbs as I've already snapped one using that WRONG information that's posted online. A couple guys here were thoughtful enough and came to my rescue by sending me replacement stock bolts. I have a thread about it. Thanks I'll...

There's wayyyy too much slack in this system the way it sits now. anything above 1,000 RPM would be making a serious racket

Hmmmm so I need a spring compression tool to install this?

Hey how's it going? http://i.imgur.com/7UtBLS3.jpg I'm trying to put my rocker arms back on but they won't sit flush in the head girdle thing. This doesn't seem right to me. Also, the rocker shaft bolts don't even snug down the retaininer/clip that separates the rockers. Ideas????

This stuff should hold me until I find another head. This weekend is Father's Day so I should get about a half day to myself. But knowing the wife that honeydo list will be longer than the Christmas list!

Hey just want to give a HUGE THANKS to MoparTim and JBURCH for coming through with the original set of head bolts I needed. I didn't even ask them and they dropped them in the mail to me SUPER FAST Just goes to show what a GREAT community we have here. I haven't tried buggering with that set...

I don't know if it's so bad I sprayed water in the top of that hole and it leaked out through a valve So, I don't think that hole is connected to a water jacket. But yes an intake/exhaust leak is bad But not as bad as that water leak Does everyone agree? It's hard as I don't know what to find a...
