| Questions before first fire up |
| By briango - 01/15/2006 3:22:29 PM; IP 67.168.239.38 |
I have a few questions with the end of my build and getting ready to fire the engine for the first time.
1. I have Edelbrock heads so do I need to close the valve lash by .008 to allow for expansion, and what should I set them at for an inital reading?
2. I have a Blue Thunder 8V intake and have PB and a C6. I wanted to use the rear port on the intake to install a breather, but I need a vacuum source for the booster. Can I just use the port on the rear carb riser facing the rear of the engine?
3. I need to get some intake mainfold bolts. Are there any issues with them ans using Aluminum heads? WHat are the lengths I need as I have non to go by. I thing there are two different sizes. Has anyone used set screws and then just used nuts on them?
4. The BT intake and valve covers came with rubber o-rings. Do I need to use them and what are they really for?
I hope to drop the egine and tranny in togther this next week or so and I can't wait to get it fired.
Thanks for the help.
