    Keep Blowing Head Gasket, cylinder #5

    Yeah, I used ARP bolts on the stock heads, but maybe the grooves in the maching was an issue. I really don't use the N2O that much, put it this way I just started my 2nd bottle in 800miles :) I will use it some more at the track this spring with the new heads & cam setup ;) Thanx

    Keep Blowing Head Gasket, cylinder #5

    greg, great info. I guess you know your machining :) I was hoping that was the issue, I am now swapping those heads out w/ (most likely) TFS Track Heats, so I am hoping the problem will be gone. Thanx

    Keep Blowing Head Gasket, cylinder #5

    The heads I am having the problem with are stock E7's milled .040 I am repalcing thm now w/ TW Track heats. Thanx for the info. The heads were most likely my problem, and I will check my fuel pressure again when it is put back together. Looks like from what I read it should be 40psi w/ vacuum...

    Keep Blowing Head Gasket, cylinder #5

    I was looking over the heads today, and noticed that the surface that was milled on the heads has slight "cut" lines in it from whatever they used to mill them. You can actually feel them w/ your fingernail. Is that normal, or should they have smoothed the surface off?? Was I supposed to sand...

    Keep Blowing Head Gasket, cylinder #5

    86bluecobra, what did they do for changes?? Do ya remember? Or where was the article?? My system is a Nitrous Express system, it uses 2 jets (pills) 1 - for N2O, and 1 - for Fuel Also txstang, So why is #5 a problem? How does the intake runner affect that cylinder running lean? You would...

    Keep Blowing Head Gasket, cylinder #5

    I just pulled my motor apart for the upcoming head and cam swap. And upon examining the head gaskets I saw that cylinder No. 5 has a blown spot at the top water jacket. This is the 3rd time this cylinder has blown. The 2nd time was a fuel pump failure (while on the n2O), so it could not be...

    Anderson Ford h/c/i/ Kits

    Is anyone running one of Andersons h/c/i kits listed on their web site?? I was looking at the TFS Track Heat kit, but cam across Andersons options also. I don't really care for the Typhoon intake, although I hear it performs well. And I was told his N41 cam was a good grind?? Any Input??? THANX

    tfs street/track heat kit vs holley systemax II

    strker why would you suggest the AFR over the TFS? I know the AFR's flow close to the TFS, but the TFS out flow them. And the TFS have the larger intake valves, and can be ported to 185cc when needed. I figured the TFS will work awesome now, and can be ported later to work w/ a 347 short block...

    Flycut Pistons? for Head/Cam upgrade?

    DARK_50 You must have missed the beginning of my thread, the cam ? goes along w/ the head of choice ?? either the AFR 165's or the Track Heats?? And when the married guy budget can afford it I will most likely add a blower, BUT that may be 2yrs. I would also like a head that I can be...

    Flycut Pistons? for Head/Cam upgrade?

    Thanx for the info, I posted a list of my mods below. And when the married guy budget can afford it I will most likely add a blower, BUT that may be 2yrs. I would also like a head that I can be ported to work great w/the blower in the future. That is why I am concerned about the smaller valves...

    Flycut Pistons? for Head/Cam upgrade?

    Hi All, I have been researching my next upgrades of heads and cam. I am leaning towards the TFS Track Heat Twisted Wedge heads or the Edelbrock Vic Jr's, or AFR 165's. All with 2.02/1.60 valves. Cam will be a decent choice to match the heads and my mods, the Wolverine 1087 was mentioned. 1.6...

    Victor Junior or Twisted Wedge for 302?

    Hi All, I am ready to buy a set of heads and was told to look at the Victor Jr's as well as the Twisted Wedge. Are the Jr's too large for a 302 block? The bottom end has been rebuilt, I have BBK 1 5/8" Long tubes, TFS Street Intakes, NX 150 Nitrous (don't run it alot though), and the other...
