Milling of intake. How much?
By Terry Good - 08/03/2002 5:25:56 PM; IP 63.161.101.138
I just installed a pair of 427 medium riser heads on my sideoiler and was going to install the sidewinder intake when I came upon a problem. I laid down the intake gaskets and sat the intake on and I noticed the difference in height on where the heads and intake meet at the top where the valve cover sets. I knew the heads had been milled as most medium riser heads have but their was still some of the thumb print there. Will the cork gasket collapse that much when I tighten the intake down or do I need to have the intake milled? I have a Steve Christ book and it tells how much to remove off the intake if you know how much the heads have been milled but I do not have that info. When I set the intake on without gaskets it is flush at the top where it should be with gaskets. Is it possible to still have a thumb print if the heads were milled .060 ? Any idea's on how much you think the heads have been milled?

 Sounds like the block might have been milled N/M. -- Royce Peterson, 08/04/2002
