the chemical that i used to clean the valves after the lapping leaves a whitish residue, and for the most part the valve guides were in decent shape with little wear (i had 48 valves to choose from), as far as the heads i rinsed them a few times and blew them out prior to install, as far as the...

ok thanks i got the heads bolted on and the lap jobs turned out ok i tested a couple that i was iffy about by airing up the cylinders (using a cylinder leak gauge of some sort) and they arent leaking through the valves...theres a bit of a leak past the rings but thats another problem in the...

ok so i just finnished lapping the valves in the second set of heads for my 383, or so i think, im not one hundred percent sure what a finished valve seat and valve should look like, i tried to get rid of all the pitting in the exhaust valves and get them to look as smooth as possible, but could...

ok thanks and as far as cooling will it affect a whole lot durring street use?

ok so does it matter if i use the head gasket that i have then??

ok had another look the two or three top mid ones are a narow slit vs a big cut out like the old metal gaskets, however the lower passages are blocked off the 906 heads look like their also blocked off but the 452's im throwing on have the passages open but the new head gasket will not allow...

sorry the center holes should be blocked off or not??? (maybe im mis reading it) the main ports are open but the center ones are blocked off,

i just pulled the heads off my 383 today and was about to throw another set on with new head gaskets when i realized that two of the top coolant holes in the middle of the gasket in between cylinders 3-5 and 5-7 were blocked off on the new head gasket while the old stock head gaskets had cut...

i was planning on pulling my 383 4bbl and dropping in a 383 2bbl (im converting to 4 bbl) that is currently sitting in a polara, both motors are out of 69 cars, the 4bbl was stamped H in the vin in the newport with the HP manifolds, all i know about the 2 bbl is that it runs, doesent smoke knock...

my press dropped one day while passing a guy my motor normally ran 75 psi with a high volume pump she dropped about 10-15 psi and at an idle it runs at about 15 psi but will go up with the revs, as far as the fuel pump i just changed my oil and it did smell alot like fuel but i think it was from...

ok well ill check the fuel press its just a mechanical pump, as far as the carbs the eddy ive never had issues with so ill open it up and give it a quick clean, and check the needle and seats, as far as the holey i think it may be too much fuel all the time, you can watch while it runs it just...

forgot to mention both times i ran the accel coil it was hot to the touch... i didn't check the o.e.m coil for heat because i never got it out to the hiway..

hi there once again, i took my car out the other day, it started fine, and ran fine for about fifteen to twenty minutes, then she started to pop/ping in the the exhaust, and would die if the revs were below a thousand rpm, to get it started i had to crank and crank and crank and finally with the...
