Thanks for stopping by TBK. No plans for any kind of boost now or later for that matter. Do you have any idea how much hp I would gain going to say 10:1?

texastboneking

No not really depends on who builds your tune. If you plan on staying na. Try going 11 to 1. And I would get a forged crank out of a cobra if I were you. Much more durable and can withstand rpms over 7500.

Glenn

Well I ended up staying with the stock pistons/rods and had the crank turned. New over sized rod and crank bearings. I got a free gaskit kit from a friend = nice. I ordered a high flow oil pump from american muscle for 45 bucks free shipping. A pretty good deal if I do say so myself. I ordered remaned heads from a ebay vendor.

we shall see how well they work out. I'm waiting for the oil pump should be here today and I can finish throwing the bottom end together. The heads should be at my house friday.
Does anyone know how to clean the injectors or should I look into a new set or not worry about it?

texastboneking

Put the objectors in a tub off gas and lot them sit for a while.

Torrbo916

Lol. What's an objector. And why would you put them gas.

texastboneking

Injectors... Phone correction sucks...

Torrbo916

I know. It just made me laugh.

I think an objector is a plugged up injector, they object to injecting fuel. You put them in gas and threaten to light it unless they straighten up and start injecting.

Glenn

I have seen a rebuild kit on you tube but haven't been able to find one for my ap.

Glenn

so I fired her up the other day. Seemed to run pretty good I think I got the timing right but I do/did have a small water leak. Drivers side head top front corner under the alt.Between the head and the block. That is an area I believe I was supposed to use gasket sealer. I did use it but must have missed a spot or I have the wrong head gaskets or something else?? Any ideas I did dry the area with air and forced some gasket sealer in there, but I'm thinking I may have done something wrong or left a oring out...

texastboneking

Might just need to get it hot and let the gasket seal itself.. sometime gaskets need to get hot and swell into the gap. Just make sure you dont use stop leak!

Glenn

That was a fast reply. I will take it back apart if need be, no problem. I almost know how to do it now. lol. I will see tomorrow or the next day when the sealent has time to cure.

texastboneking

I'm always on here! I have no life lol

Glenn

why do I have to tq the head bolts to 30 lbs then tighten them another 90 degrees then loosen them at least 1 turn then do it all again then tighten them another 90 degrees. Why do I have to loosen them and redo it?

cdynaco

Prob to help compress/seat the head gasket.

texastboneking

It centers the head on the block all the way and seats the gasket in the correct place. Make sure not to use the head bolts twice.

Glenn

ha I'm on my 3 time with them lol. I haven't heard that about the head bolts.

texastboneking

Dam you have been lucky... You are never supposed to use a torque to yield bolt twice... I wouldn't risk it.

Glenn

mine or Tbones?

Glenn

how much fluid does the cooling system hold??
