while you have the heads off you might want to consider O-rings. mls is the least you should do for your compression ratio. did you use the proper torque value for the lubricant you used.
Hi, Bob,
yes, ARP Studs @ 95lbs, with supplied lube.
engine has 52 passes
I really think I need a timing retard for the launch
is why I set it at 30*
anything more, blows the tires off @ 4500
Calvert shocks helped, it stopped "leap frogin"
need to work on that some more
went from 275-60 to 325-50
but couldn't tell due to this recent issue and the heat
also need to lean it @ 10.74 (gas scale)
get to mid to high 11's
