Gotta leave for the 40 Grand race at Norwalk on Thursday so I’m pushing it a little here. I told you guys the cars been running great running a 6.02 and 6.04 last weekend but it’s smoking bad on warmup and on the transbrake, real bad. I bought these heads used and damaged around 2007 and ported them around 2008-2009 for a buddy and ended up buying them back when he didn’t use them. I know the valve guides have never been changed so we are pushing those. My plans were to pull the intake and change out the intake gaskets and then
Recoat the epoxy on the tubes from my 2008 porting. When I pulled the intake today the gaskets do look to have been leaking as there is some oil in the port’s sitting on the closed valves. I also found a stain leading to the carb gasket and the rubber hose on my leanout valve practically fell off from being split. It a wonder this car ran as consistent as it has been. Because of time it will get a new piece of rubber line for now but I’ll be redoing this with a different material. Hopefully be going back together tomorrow.
