Slykin Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 If all else fails could you get most of your money back by selling the parts? That would be a serious bummer to have this engine not work AND lose a bunch of money over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a serious bummer to have this engine not work AND lose a bunch of money over it.Id run the same combo on a different engine If I had to. Id just get a 351 shortblock and bolt this entire combo onto it, but I'm not counting on having to do that I just hope its something stupid like the retarded head gaskets.

64bit_Tuning Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) As far as this oil leak is concerned... I'm gonna say that your head alignment dowels are propping the heads up on the lower side. I had the same problem with a set of heads. Take the heads off and remove the gaskets. Place the heads back onto the block with the alignment dowels in place. Measure the width of the gap between the block and head, on the lower edge. Anything larger than .025" is a problem.Now I'm curious. Edited July 13, 2012 by The Mk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom351R Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 well he's suppose to call me this morning to let me know what the issue really is. He had to call his engine builder to talk about possible issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the thinnest gasket on there as possible, it has a ton of PVC.1011-1 gaskets are MLS and have a better fire ring. And the difference between .041 and .039 is irrelevant when comparing compression ratios and power output.

Venom351R Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 How much is all this gonna cost you?? Or is the builder eatin the cost????No one is eating the cost but me. I was the one that put it together, just wish I went with my gut and got the felpro's from the start like I was planning on doing. He's going to call me back on monday for the cost of replacing the head gaskets. Gave him $500 today to cover some of the costs of what had already been done on the car. There were a lot of little issues that had to be worked out, it all adds up plus they had to fab up a 3" H pipe b/c my prochamber was not going to work.

Venom351R Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I had my doubts about it being the heads themselves just b/c they are so new and were professionally done. Would have been un likely that the head surface was never checked for being true. At least its an easy fix, crappy part is that its all caused over a $35.00 part.

revhead347 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I just run the factory replacement head gaskets from Felpro. That's as thin as it's going to get. The 1011s are thicker, and blow more often.Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
