Think I blew a head gasket. Could it be intake gasket?

in the f cams case the wider lobe seperation actually promotes better cylinder cycling, the E cam also works well in blown applications and will save you some piston to valve clearance it has .498 lift as upposed to the F cams .512

with f cam, would I need stronger springs? how about using stock rockers?

 

[PUNISHER RACING]

stock rockers will work you will need to upgrade springs to a Crane 44308-1 set they give you springs,retainers, and locks all in one kit. They run like $120.00 bucks.

but no use doing all that with stock heads, right? I would at least want to look at windsor jr's.

I run stock heads on my dd with an X cam carbed and love it its all in what you want to spend. I would say a camshaft change would put you solidly in the 11's for sure when I switched my stock cam out for the X it was night and day not to mention it sounded awesome and comes on like gangbusters after 2500

can i use same pushrods?

 

[PUNISHER RACING]

with a cam and stock heads yes

hmmmm, tempted...

I think for now, I'd be happy with stopping by motor from eating green fluid.

HEY!

I might have found the problem. After doing a compression test on the cyl with a little bit of water on the spark plug and the one next to it, they were both 130psi. It's a stock longblock, so thats good, right? Also, I left the comp gauge hooked up for a mintue and the pressure pretty much stayed there. Good right?

Then, when taking the supercharger off the intake, I checked the torque of the intake bolts, and some I could move with my finger. I think i figured out why under boost, the coolant overflow was being pushed out. right?

Can I be safe with just torquing the intake bolts down and hoping for the best?
