As long as it's in somewhat of a drivable state to where I can bring into the shop and time it, then it's not to much of a worry for me

it will get ya real close .... i used a chizzel and made a groove where it was before and just put it back on in same place .. should be fine .....

why is your needing to come off ? ... leaking under neith ?

The transfer pump is shot and won't deliver fuel once warmed up cause of the expansion of the head

I have ordered a Holley Red pump off E-bay ......

nice lil units .... :tu:

ok,
so got it all together and attempted to start ........... NOT GOOD SOUNDS !!!!!! thinking something either fell into a cylinder or ..... maybe th pushrods are different lengths ? .... something one cyl makes a clunk .... and of course ... now my oil cooler is leaking coolant as well ..... great ... more work .... damn this is becoming irritating ...:argh:

Ouch :ouch: time for another tear down :s:

If I have to ... I'm just gonna tow it to work and pull the engine out all together and do a complete re-do ... not a rebuild ... just a over view and investigate whats goin on ..

Best of luck :tu:

decided today i'm gonna let it fire up and see what kind of carnage it will make .... i plan on making a viedo for the fun of it as well ... will post it this weekend sometime :c:

hope it doesn't go to badly haha did you port the heads yourself?
