RE: 390 Head Gaskets |

Many times when a head gasket lets go,you hear a "ticking"noise before the gasket totally lets go.This is usually what used to be piston compression,now finding an easier path out of the cylinder via a weak spot in the gasket.When you take the heads off,use a straight edge to get an idea of the squarness of the deck surfaces.A common cause of head gasket failure on new motors is decks that aren"t square. |
