- I'm back after a few weeks hiatus. Classes were starting and I knew I wouldn't have time to keep up with my email. I've also got a new cylinder head, so my rebuild can be completed. Which of course l

- If it is a copper gasket spray it with Permatex copper gasket spray, otherwise don't put anything on it. This brings up another question. Does anyone have a way to remove unknown cement from a cylind

- Yup, you're gonna "gettit"...........:-) But only because you state that the car should be left overnight before the head nuts are re-torqued. I thought we covered this a few weeks back, but here go

- No mention of 'bedding in the cam'? The first minutes are critical to the life of the cam ... vary the rpm between 2200 and 2700 for the first 15 to 10 mins ... then, retorque the head etc. ** Safet

- Gotta real problem with some of this, no knock to you guys, everyone has his way of doing things successfuly; no one way is the "only" way, in my experience. When one builds an engine, one uses the p

- Agreed, there is a lot of mysticism and hocus pocus about building engines, but some of it is based in fact. Breaking in the cam is important. The important mating surfaces that you are bedding is th

- Have you empirical proof that not doing exactly as you say does destroy - or at least significantly shorten the life of - a cam? For over twenty years now, I have just kept my "first-start" engines r
