    Engine Afr Head Studs Leaking.

    Anyone got a fix?? I read around its not uncommon for these to do that. I just started my new 331 and seen the leaks after it came up to temp. I was thinking it was the rear of the intake as I had that the last time cause I used the gaskets. I let the car cool down and re-started and than...

    Brakes First Test Drive Did Not Go So Well, Having Some Issues.

    Have you looked at a plug to see whats what? you could be lean and might need to add fuel? You recheck the timing after its up to temp? I run my 331 of the stock puter and it runs the balls pretty much. I wouldnt think you'd be that far off.... it shouldnt be running that bad. I'd check the...

    How many of you Degree the cam in when you do a swap?

    I did my FTI dot to dot to start and it came right dead nuts to the cam card. Just had my shortblock all redone & balanced and the shop that did the work degree'd it at re-assy...came in dot to dot. No to say that always works...it has to be verified. Mine was to be 108 deg and the shop came in...
