TrickFlow 190 Issue

Yes, the gasket will go on without issue. The holes are extra large. I'm not saying there couldn't be an issue with the head, but my experience was that the holes were shifted in the block. Being a TF dealer, I do quite a few builds with them, and haven't had a head with improperly located holes yet.

The engine I had a problem with was so bad I had to ream the holes slightly larger, and turn down the dowels so the head could shift a little to get the bolts in. Then I had to leave them loose and bolt the intake to the heads, before torquing the head bolts, so everything would align properly. It was all poor machining from Chrysler. But, like I said, it might be the heads, but I'm betting it's the block.
I'll look everything over in the next day or so. I was kinda frustrated the other night. The holes in these Cometics are pretty tight to the studs. The block was in my first thoughts as well. Then I tried both heads on both sides and the problem moved as if the head was the issue. But like I said I got sort of frustrated and just quit for the night. I'll regroup and check things over again.
