You had good experiences with the rtv?

That's was an excellent article!

What's the purpose of that tab? I have another set of pistons doesnt have them

I honed and set new rings.

Take a look

I tore down the engine and a piece of the side skirt came falling out. Once it dropped everything spun freely. To my surprise there are no marks or scuffs on the cylinder walls what so ever. I was...

The heads have a mild port. They are not milled. I use Indian head on the arp head bolts. I had these heads on another engine and it didn't give me any problems. The heads maybe have 1k miles on...

Block wasnt bored but it was honed. I reused my old pistons and just changed bearings. The old gasket shows it gave out between 6 and 8. I didn't taper though. I'm picking up a remanufactured jasper...

The little tab that hangs down is what broke

I think it the way my light was angled. I checked clearance for the rings and they were within spec.

Bottom of piston 4 came apart.

When the head gasket went I only drove it about 1/8 mile at 20mph. I made sure the oil circulated to sweep out any coolant. I guess it wasnt enough. I just cant wrap my head around that I drove it...

Plugs are out and still doenst move a inch. I drove it yesterday too.

Sorry. Its seized not ceased. I'm too angry to edit

So I flushed the engine with 12qts of oil and took the car around for a nice drive about 2 days ago. Today, my friend came over and he wanted to hear the car run. I started it up and within 1 minute...

Quick update: My wife is right, I'm an idiot and this is proof. When I did my first head swap I used the felpro 7733pt2 with great results. When I rebuilt my current block I ordered a sbc gasket kit...

Coolant in cylinder 6. It still held 210 compression. It's still odd the there is a big difference between the driver and passenger side. I'll send the heads out to get them checked. I've also read...

Thanks guys. I'm gonna rip it apart and report back.

I'll make this brief and as detailed as possible. I drove 60 miles no problem then at a stop light waiting for the light to turn green my exhaust is spewing white smoke. Steam train amounts. Did...
