Thread: Help Me Pick Some Heads For Christmas Present

Tweet

I have not as I don't have the proper tools on hand for that. I may see if I can check one out from a friends tool case.

Edit: From what I'm reading I would need a torque plate to properly measure so I guess this is out the window.

This morning I was able to verify bore roundness/taper and though Im approaching 75% of allowable limits, I'm still within allowable tolerance. With that said, it doesn't really matter what the previous owner did. I know now that this block is down to its last ~50k miles and will run it as is (no rebuild) until it gives.

Should have the decks prep'd and heads on in the next couple days. I'll post pics as progress develops

You guys sure deserve more updates than I'm giving but here's a quick one. Been raining off and on here so we've been using the last few weeks to prep parts and paint as weather allows. Heads are installed but waiting on rocker set and manifold bolts to finish install. Getting ready to repaint the engine bay and re-wire parts of harness that need to be beefed up. After that we should be ready to put the motor back in and begin tuning. Getting excited!
