if you used the cork end rail gaskets the intake probably isn't seating. don't use them ! had that issue before. Most people use the Black Power seal stuff sold locally. nice fat bead. clean surface real good. Black RTV in the corners too like normal. I use the Fel-Pro 1213S and throw out the...

Condensation most likely, like mentioned. That is also a tell tale sign If your head gasket/gaskets are leaking. or a crack to the water jacket. will have moisture soon after running from water in the oil. I Built an engine for a guy twice. he didn't use the correct torque sequence on the heads...

Are there 2 Barrel Cylinder Heads Port Size: 1.050″ x 2.187″ as apposed to 4 Barrel Cylinder Heads 1.150″ x 2.250″ Stock ? i ordered the "stock" size. the 16907 is a hundred thou. bigger. i have the fel-pro 1213S3 now. Printoseal, 2.27 in. x 1.16 in. Port, .065 in. Thick...

70aarcuda, just ordered these. Thanks. How did you find them ?

Thanks Tony, much appreciated!

ok, i can only find .125 for W2 heads. .062 for all others. got a part # or a place to call/order from, maybe just not listed ? thanks, C300

damm, thats thick. are they soft/crushable ? thanks ! i had an intake years ago that was for milled heads (355 chevy circle track motor) no way to use it besides that motor, hope this isn't the same deal.

I ordered new .065 gaskets because that was what was on it when i bought it. they were loose when i got the (new to me)engine. so, they leak again. not when cold, but more as it gets hot. yes i know that something was milled off. is there a measurerment of the head thickness, or what ? do i...

Ask a local, or good engine shop this question. I (thought) I new EXACTLY what I wanted. Built circle track engines, boats and jets too. Had Just moved to Washington state. Ordered a Stroker kit for my 440 From Hughes Engines. Wanted 10.6-10.8 compression, have Ported RPM heads. finalized...

I've heard that the detergents in some oils can mess with the ZDDP additives. I was down at the parts store and they had 3 kinds at that branch. Break in additive, use just for cam break in and drain. another was run 1000 miles, change oil, done. and Rislone brand, add bottle with every oil...

Your reply planted a seed in My head. When I got My '67 Formula S in 1984, It was used for road rallying up till they gave it to their Daughter. The Trans input shaft bearing went 6 months after that and i got it. Weird Bearing size, No one had a bearing for it. I shimmed and ground the OD of a...

Got this engine as is. Just didn't want the cam I put in it doing the same thing !

I'm sure this has been addressed a lot. Sticky ? Stock cam's coming apart because no Zinc in new oils. I'm not wanting to run Brad Penn in a tow vehicle at $11-12 a Quart. I can't buy the additive I got in the past. What's the best option ? I see lots of cars with flat tappets. Not looking to do...

The trucks got 4.11's i think. thinking that's why the 4 before timing. lower so the total wont be too high for hauling heavy loads. going to check the distributor and see if it's set up with different springs n stops. Ran into that on some industrial and big truck 392's n 413's. Thanks, C300

Would that be the initial or total timing ? #-o

I Got a 1984 R350 Dually work truck. The timing for it stock says 4 BTDC. R150-250 is 11 BTDC. Took the 84 engine out, put in 77 truck engine with 84 Dist., cam-lifters-p-rods n rockers. (someone stuck 4 BIG diameter pushrods in...dumbass thought motor was toast ) Edelbrock 318/360 intake, 1406...

The ignition problem i had is this. SO SUCKED. put engine in. ran fine. did compression check. installed new plugs. timed it. it quits. cools. starts, quits... doesn't start. Guess the battery was low from starting and bumping. Followed a short to ground. SO the voltage regulator fried. shorted...

I took the square to spread spacer off. running performer 318/360 spread bore manifold on a truck. don't want to raze the RPM band. runs fine. I'll get an airgap for the car engine. thanks

This engine had a edelbrock 318/360 intake on it. So I stuck it on the engine I put in the truck. heard nothing good about the TM5. I thought it being as old as the 284 .509 cam they would pair up well.... I turned down another edelbrock 318/360 intake for $25. would you use that before the...

Here's the cam. Told it's a stock 74 or 77 truck 360

thanks Rumblefish. Probably freashin the heads and see what the spring pressures are, but they are old. not reuseable. if i find some eddys used i'll snag them. Question ;-0 Is there an issue with 360 cams being soft and coming apart ? or is this the no zinc in the oil situation like the 78-83...

I have read and know there are better parts out there. I have these parts on the shelf and want to use them. Stock 84 1 ton truck 360 i pulled the cam out of. will freshen short block and new pistons. Stock heads. Will follow the porting job and rebuild in Hotrod Mag. i have. porting is said to...

Bad ECM. Goo dripping out the back, potting compound. had it checked at parts store after waisting the day checking the wires. Instead of buying a cheap one($23.99+tax) i'm going to order an orange one. done deal. $29+ shipping. anyone have one local ? thanks C300

thanks guys, was thinking the mag. pickup, box or the ballast. had checked power to coil +, is low but about 8v. Should be battery voltage with key on ? Ballasts are cheep, so i'll toss one in. hope that does it, thanks, C300

pulled the intake, bad gasket from previous owner. put it all back together. put new o-ring on distributor base, stupid hard to move and raises up when loosened. so i ended up touching the negative side of the coil with the dist. wrench 3 different times while running. it cut out the ignition...
