RE: #4 and #8 smokes when the head fills up.

By Geoff McNew - 10/14/2003 2:47:03 PM; IP 66.52.140.114

hummmmm! veeerrry interesting. & Thanks.

I used the Felpro #1247 gaskets Edelbrock recommened. I didn't notice any drainback problem, but then again I didn't look for one - figured when Edelbrock said their heads were cnc'd to match their RPM intake, they were.

The drain holes at either end of the head sure are small as hell though. I was really hoping not to have to yank the intake. & If the heads have to come off, the engine has to come out I fear - no damn room in a Mustang with headers.

The seals I have are a copper/tan color, they have an external tensioning spring at the top and they thread-onto the outside of the guide.
My Edelbrock paperwok doesn't give me a part# or description for them however.

This thread, so far...
