Ah, the joys.......
of aluminum heads and fenderwell headers in an early A body. Run in went OK. No nasty noises. Got it up to 175. Steady oil drip out of the rear china rail, head, intake joint. Typical. Water leak stopped at pass side head gasget. Healed itself. Typical.
Now the re-torquing of heads. To do this, the headers have to come off.
To get the headers out, OFF come the collectors and the master cylinder. Re bleed the brakes, and on and so forth. While I'm at it, we may as well recurve the distributor.
Shooting for next weekend.
