I hope you didn't pull the heads just to replace the seals ...................
Be sure the bores on both ends are REALLY clean. The Cap'n |

The Cap'n Nope,pulled them because the car was running rough and after checking the carbs and ignition I went to adjust the valves and a rocker arm was broken.I pulled the head and found stuck valves by my local machine shop.Evidently the ethanol in the new gas causes the fuel to turn to maple syrup after 3 or 4 months.He says the last 2 years they have seen it a lot.The area behind the valve was like glue.Pulling the other head tonite and having them cleaned up.He said that if the car is going to sit for several months to use fuel stabilizer it's a must with this crappy gas we get now.He had to bang the valves out on #4. |
