360 LA installing Promaxx Aluminum heads
She lives!!! Video at the linky dinky. I let it run for some time.. built up heat and fans came on. Any girotis that got into the oiling system should be in the filter by now. Do an oil change and new filter tomorrow.
360 LA New Heads, rockers and intake first fire up
Driver side header leaked a bit. Pulled the recommended gasket and installed the thicker used gasket that came with TTI exhaust... problem solved. Think I'll order another set from TTI just in case. You can still see where it was leaking in center 2 ports even after I wiped it with my finger. I used copper gaskets at the collector with stainless bolts and self locking nuts. The other set either came loose and blew out or blew out and came loose on the drivers side just before I tore it down. There are 2 stainless nuts on the road somewhere.
Lastly the specialty valve cover gaskets leak... driver side not too bad.. passenger side all the way to the filter and onto the exhaust before I noticed. Don't wanna have to goop them up but I will to avoid a mess.
Overall very happy with the evenings progress. I'll hit it again tomorrow and see if I can get the leaks sorted.
