i need a little 340 help. Lets Talk head gaskets
Hello All,
I have a 340 I purchased several years ago as a short block. I was told it was 12.5:1 pistons they are .040 over. I've cleaned it and am ready to complete for my duster.
the issue is I purchased a set of the 340 Edelbrock Heads (60179) with the 65cc combustion chamber i am using .040 MLS head gaskets and the top of the piston are hitting the heads.
The combustion changer depth is 0.050 I also had a set of J heads sitting around (they need to be reworked) they are at 0.100
I know there are a lot of thickness options i have on the MLS head gaskets. Has anyone else run into this issue? the block has never been decked. (I know the full history) is there a combination that worked?
Thanks
Chad
