tell me about it its hard enough getting it to run on the 708's witha 285 lift
no ive just been to look at the car and this engine (its on its 3rd) has the oe revised gasket but its steel...! now that must of take a lot to blow?
hi ben!
im gettig the head off in the morning..
im not convinced its the valves. the coolent.. holds its temp, and it hasent moved down, the oil is clean and gold.. the OE gasket is paper and is the cause of most of the failers.. the other alt is a 3ply steel.
will a visual inspection of...
thats what im thinking.. just gettin hold of one in the morning.. lol theres a lad next door has a 02 plate vts.. hes gone away for 2 weeks! do u reckon u could remove the engine from under the car then fit a new one without the bonnet open? think ill need brucy baby for this one
if it was the valves and rings i dont think they would of worn on the same rate ie 50 each... if they running the same values and the leak is on the gasket then it would even up.. hence the 50 in 2nd 50 in 3rd
yer 50 psi..
all the plugs were out.. so if the 2nd was having the test then the presure would leak out of the 3rd with the split inbetween.
there is some compression so the valves are lifting etc.. wont the pressure test show the crack
220 50 50 220
that the compression i have now.. have a major misfire!. i think the gasket has gone between the 2-3 cylinder.. there is no over heat in cycle.. or oil water mix.. so im guesing the oil and water jackets have not been mixed through the fail.
stripping the block in the morning...
