    um. no I don't see any coolant leaking anywhere. I replaced them last time because they were blown and white smoke was pooring out of my exhaust.. and it looks like it may have just started again.. I have had the heads surfaced thats all. I just replaced them about 100 miles ago or so.. used...

    What did I do wrong in adjusting my rockers?

    the 1011-2 has a copper ring around the cylinders so that it wont damage the bottome of ALumminum Cylinder heads when you torque them down.. use those ones if you have alluminum heads..

    Overheating!!!

    yeah.. its hard to get the air out when it overheats and blows water out and then sucks more air in!.. and the Tstat I have in there is a 180 stant with a factory bleed hole in it.. I let you know if I figuire it out.. or if I drive it off a cliff :)

    Overheating!!!

    Hey, thanks for the reply. Um, I know its overheating because water fills up my overflow resavoir and blows onto the ground.. and I usually drive a little bit before it acts up.. usually only after I run it hard.. I also feels as if I developed some sort of low speed missfire or something...

    H/C/I swap. got some ??

    hey, not sure exactly what part number it is .. but fel pro makes a head gasket made just for alluminum heads.. it has a copper ring or something instead of metal so it doesn't imprint into the head when you torque it... a guy at a speed shop recommended that particular gasket.

    coolant overflow problem

    hrmmm... Im not sure about why its using the coolant from the overflow.. maybe because you still have air in there.. and when you get hot it sucks it from the overflow tank.. I would not advise on using a lower pressure cap cuz I thing each lb of cap pressure lowers or raises the boiling point...

    Trick Flow Cam

    depends on what heads you get and if their ported or not.. also depends on what other componets you want to have or already do have.. but you need to think about rpm range you want to be in also.. you don't want a cam that has a power band at 7000 in a street car.. just not practical... stage 1...

    I just checked em today and they were tan colored.. but like I said... it burns my eyes when the car is running.. the reason I chose 24lb ers is because the trick flow website recommended them with the TFS TW heads
