Spare parts single 318 turbo build
Got the heads on, the head gaskets are literally unmarked no-name gaskets that measured .58 uncompressed. So figure .52-.54 compressed. That's double thickness I was thinking of running. Free is free tho. I also started mocking up the roller rockers and 273 rockers to see what I wanted to run.... Then I said frick it. This is a cheap beater engine. So I decided on a set of 340 stamped arms that I had. All the other arms ran into the springs with the exception of the 340 stamped. Keep it simple and cheap, right?
