I got a machinist straight edge and there is what I think is excessive clearance right next to #3 cylinder near the water jacket. How that is...

Steve, again no sealer on the studs, they do not enter the water jacket. They are installed finger tight only. Reference the service manual. There...

Steve, I think your OK. I thought way back, in one of your threads, you mentioned bolts instead of studs were in your engine. I have said it a few...

A. Every one of us has, at one time or another, managed to split a gas or oil line while we do something else on the engine. That's not being an...

It should have a spring and a valve in it 56'. They were serviceable back in the day. Some "bubba's" took the spring and valve out and threw them...

Awhile ago I found a Crack in the pcv line between the head and the side valve cover. Well, I'm just getting around to fixing it (I just put a plug...

Welcome Blakeyjr13! Count the teeth on your flywheel. You never know what might be in there. The 9 tooth starter is for the 124 tooth flywheel...

B, here's what I found.....First the cooling system as far as I know is not building pressure because the radiator neck is not sealing with the cap,...

Yep, the seat works perfectly and can be found pretty cheap at swapmeats. That support isn't factory, it was extended with all thread by the previous...

Did it have bolts in it Steve? If it did or someone had some in prior, it is common for the shank on the bolt head to be longer than the cylinder...

Thanks B, I managed to get some pressure in cooling system, anti freeze is in #3 cylinder, so im hoping head gasket or a head, as long as block is...

It is concerning that it wants a lot more room and is pushing the water that hard. If it was full of air, it will push the water out until the air is...

Small and many bubbles, so much so I cant see the coolant The head was already on when I got the engine back as I had the rebuilder assemble the...

Steve, when you say bubbles what are you seeing? Large burps or small and many? If you are leaking water into the motor or out of the motor you will...
