Thanks everyone! I checked them visually and don't even see any coating gone or scratched. Definitely will try to reuse. They ain't cheap!

Can cometic MLS head gaskets be reused? Gaskets were installed and torqued but not fired.

thanks, Ill check it out.

its a pre magnum that came with roller cam and roller lifters

thank you, now I got it. So is there a bolt on and run it kit?

ok, my block even though its pre magnum does not have the oil passage (tapped and plugged) for the shaft oiling, it comes through the cam journals to the pushrods. would that matter?

ok, i guess im confused, How does the pushrod oil the rocker and shaft area? What rockers will I need? I have 1.6 Hughes stud mounted rockers right now.

I am using roller lifters and roller cam, what rocker setup would i need to use the trickflow? Would I need to Clearance the the pushrod holes also?

Anyone got ideas on where and how to get a descent aluminum head before the end of July? Needed for my 90 360 (pre) Magnum, using Chevy rockers and oil thru pushrods.

thanks Rusty.

thanks Treblig! I decided to block the oil holes for the shaft mount rockers since I'm running magnum heads with pushrod oiling and saw this. Thanks for the "peace of mind"

98 360 pre magnum with kb107 pistons, Are the black rings at the top edge of the bore normal? If not any ideas what would cause this?

nevermind on that, evidently they are no longer being made by engine quest?

these are a good choice, available in la or magnum - EngineQuest Chrysler SB LA Magnum

If you go electric this switch will cut off the fuel supply with oil pressure loss. I wouldn't run an electric pump without it. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crt-a68301?seid=srese1&gclid=CP77hqOHosoCFQWUfgodu_gJUw

You said your block is an "85"? I thought the roller blocks came about a few years later. I could be wrong though.

I'm guessing that you installed the timing set yourself. Did you install the gears with the dots facing each other with #1 at TDC? If you did then it is 180* out. Seen this many times also.

302 heads are for Fords....I don't think they will fit:D:D

When you say on the Dyno, is the engine on a stand or in the car? That could rule out a lot of issues.

This is where I got mine for my 63 dart. Had the same problem until I got the ones needed. http://www.bpeusa.com/BPEpulleys.asp

Local hardware stores have split collar clamps that could be mounted very low on the tube. drill and add a couple of threaded push bolts. Never tried it but I think it would work.

it is easier to line the marks up with the marks at 12 and six. Once the chain is on your at TDC for #6. Just rotate the crank one revolution until the crank and cam are both at 12 o'clock and you will be TDC for #1.

I would get rid of the "fire starter" eddie air cleaner. Those are "bad"

That would be a perfect turbo 6 build. You may want to reconsider the swap. There are several members getting great performance from a /6 on this site.

This is what I got but, you didn't give your head gasket bore, I just used piston bore for it. STATIC COMPRESSION RATIO 8.416

Also pay attention to your valve covers going back on. I had aftermarket that fit fine with a stock intake and had to be notched along the outside flange area because they hit on the new RPM airgap I installed. I'm sure it's different for every install but just wanted to let you know. Good Luck

I'm betting with numbers that low it's gotta be either timing or pushrod length. I wouldn't even worry about the spark and or distributor timing until you get the psi figured out.

When you lined up the marks on your timing chain gears did you have the cam marks on the low side and the crank marks on top so they lined up? And if this is when you dropped your distributor in for TDC cylinder #1 . Then you are 180 out. you were TDC for cylinder 6. That is TDC for Chevy but...

I ran into the same problem building my 360. I am using kb107's with 62cc heads. I just ordered custom cometec gaskets to match the compression I wanted. I can't remember the exact thickness, I think they are around .098. They are EXPENSIVE though. I think I paid around 180.00 for each one:(

Only ones I know of are the Mopar performance coming in at .026 thinckness. http://www.hughesengines.com/Index/products.php?browse=category&level0=U21hbGwgQmxvY2snTEEnIDI3MywzMTgsMzQwIGFuZCAzNjAgZW5naW5lcw==&level1=R2Fza2V0cw==&level2=Q3lsaW5kZXIgSGVhZA==&partid=14093 I Think you could...
