Anybody do a welfare check? No posts/questions since Monday and I haven’t received a text or call since then either.

He's been busy working on some winch mount thing, I haven't really followed along.

I guess that’s what I get for trying to start shit.

I'm just ball busting. I think your deal turned out great. I would have just bolted it to the floor and called it a day.

meanwhile, in the quest for dots to line up....

I saw this thread today on the Chevelle forum.
It's a good thread to read through carefully.
It isn't long.
I've known some of the guys for twenty years.
Several of the people, especially 427L88 and GRN69CHV change cams more than I change my oil.
Vintage Motorcar is a professional restorer.

Lol that guy works for me.

Well.. the heads may need to come back off. Someone noticed something about the dart cooling passage and the cometic mls gasket being a problem. The embossed area on the gasket doesn't cover the passage completely. These are not my pics.

Didn't realize you could use a 4.125 gasket with 4.125 bore, thought you needed oversize

So I take it it's not dot to dot and running yet?

I keep them about .040 over.

Just one time I want someone to sell me something that works on the first try

That's why they call it mocking up. You need to verify that shit will work before you screw it together and assume so. Again that's why engine builders charge the money they do because they have gone through this stuff before

Shafiroff builds this engine all the time. They sell it as a package. Which means those dipshits use the wrong gaskets day in and day out

Did they supply the gaskets?

 

[89 Fox 427]

They sure did.

 

[Steve439]

They sure did.

"dipshits" seems appropriate.

EDIT: I guess I'll wait to condemn them until you pull a head and see if the internet is correct about it...

That's the bore size the gasket is for. I don't remember exactly, but the gasket was about 4.155 I think.
