sleeper06 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 I would have kept leak down testing that pig till I got to bottom of it would hate to see u have same issue, Quote
bansman76 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Posted February 4, 2014 Yea I wish I hadve now. I'm hoping with new base gaskets , water plugs, cylinders decked , and new Orings that it seals up. Quote
bansman76 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Posted February 10, 2014 well after new intakes gaskets, water plugs,base gaskets, cylinders decked, a tube of 1211, and new Orings performed leakdown.. lost 1/2 a pound of psi in 30 mins .. believe im good now.. thanks for all advice Quote
Starwriter Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 After having the cylinders decked, you should probably do a squish test. Quote
bansman76 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Posted February 11, 2014 Will pick up some solder tomo and check it Quote
camatv Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 22ft lbs final tq is a lil much. to much tq and you can pull the studs up and warp the top of the cylinders. an o-ringed head dosent need nearly as much tq as you think. Quote
Man-O-Steele Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 isnt 22ft lbs what the service manual calls for? Quote
bansman76 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Posted February 11, 2014 This time I just went to 20 ft lbs. Quote
bansman76 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Posted February 14, 2014 I got .042 on squish test. Motor runs good. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 isnt 22ft lbs what the service manual calls for?Service manual is for metallic OEM style gaskets, not O-rings Quote
bansman76 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Posted February 17, 2014 Hey guys. Checked my compression today and got 150 psi. Done it 3 times each cylinder got same number every time. Is this still safe for 93 octane pump gas ? Quote
bansman76 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Posted February 18, 2014 Cool. I was thinking I'd be alright but wanted couple other opinions Thanks guys Quote
