Has anyone had an intake vacuum leak (oil being sucked thru ports from poor sealing) due to shaved heads?
74’ basically stock 318
Heads shaved .100”
Edelbrock LD340
will that much throw the angle of the intake to head angles off and open up lower side to oil in lifter galley?
“why did I shave .100” off the heads?”
Replaced steel shim head gaskets 0.017”with the fel-pro blue 0.040” gaskets and tried to raise compression in the process up from the crappy factory 1974 specs 8.1
with all that said- what intake gaskets will fill the gaps to seal ports (intake to heads) because all signs point to that is my oil issue. Fel-pro makes a std gasket 0.060” or a special gasket 0.120”- I’m just not familiar with using thicker gaskets for this situation.
