New Small Block Stroker Engine Noise
Took headers off last night and had the header fabricator add a bead on the 4 thin spots (all outside tubes). One tube was leaking badly, another had a small leak, the two other end tubes had 1/16" of gasket sealing them but they weren't leaking. Headers are back on the car now. I took the oil filter plate off and put a 90 degree adapter on because oil filter was laying on the headers. I had to loosen the headers to get the filter off with the plate. Now oil filter is nice and far away! Still have to adjust the valves and look some other stuff over before starting again.
