    I'm sorry to say that I 100% agree with the other boys above. Near 40 years as a mechanic, I would not attempt V8 head stud removal in situ. The engine will need a full rebuild, there's no doubt....

    If you want reliability, I would stay away from Holley Sniper. Join up the Holley forum like I did, and you will see how much of the daily threads form up on there. Holley EFI is at the bottom of...

    Refit 2 head bolts, one each end, at about 4 threads in. Refit the spark plugs for that head, leave the other bank out. Spin the engine on the starter. Head should break from the headgasket. ...

    The roller should start from the rocker shaft side of valve stem centre, roll ACROSS centre at half lift, then be at back to the start point at full lift. Yours appears to start at centre, and by...

    Nice looking car. Can you check you have a typo here? I count 4 zeros, not 5 zeros, on your plate. HMC84DC29000005 and it also states it is a Shetley Chassis #000005 Gary

    I'm surprised the valve heads haven't snapped off from bouncing off the seats at random angles. And how it even got compression test numbers like you have. Regardless, your valve guide clearance...

    The engine had not been run for 15 years? I dare say the ring package to bore surface finish is the cause of oil consumption. Gary

    Nothing wrong with a good 2 post hoist. A good 4 post does feel more secure. Touch wood, I have never had a car in trouble on a hoist.

    Jerry Clayton liked post by Gaz64 On thread : Welding on header on car, advice?
    You drill holes at the ends of the crack before welding the crack up, to remove the end of the crack, so the crack can't continue to crack in service, after the welding is done. The crack is still...

    Solid flat tappet camshaft for me. Roller cams are more maintenance, and more chance of failure. Hydraulics are even worse. I have replaced many hydraulic cams, (flat and roller) for parts...

    I see another odd relationship there as well. Note the LF wheel is centred, and the exhaust is towards the rear of the guard cutout. The RF wheel is forward, and the exhaust is towards the front of...
