looks like im pulling the motor apart already

If you drive it hard, I'd run a bcp6es plug. I'd run a .039 felpro if it's true zero. Yes leave the timing curve in the dist. I like to use the light silver and light blue together in place of the heavy silver springs.
And yes check that the bolts don't bottom out in the block.

Hey so I measured my deck and it is at 0 , also got my heads back from shop yesterday,he took off.004 and checked all valves to make sure they were sealing up all the way, now is that .039 a compressed thickness ? Also what bore diameter would I need if my cylinder bore is 4.040? Would you recommend a different camshaft? Cause the one I have is bleeding out pressure?? Want to make sure this is the last time I have to do this for a long time thanks


Also Brian I'm using the bolts you sent me with the heads so they shouldn't bottom out right??
