Discolored FE pushrods
I have had to remove the edelbrock heads from my 482 KC sideoiler because coolant was seeping out of the head nuts and too much white smoke was comming out of the exhaust.
The heads have been taken to the machine shop where the head to block and head to intake surfaces have been shaved. 0.008 had to be taken off each head surface to eliminate the low spots.
I have ordered a SCE Titan copper head gasket with water passage seals and one of their intake gaskets, bacause I have mixed feeling about the felpro intake gaskets, which sooner or later leak oil into the intake.
So far so good, BUT several pushrods are yellow and blue at the cup end and I do not know how to interpret that. Is that normal?
Maybe to little oil for cooling going to the head?
I have a restrictor inside the oil passage. Should I take it out?
