RE: 67mustang motor
By carlos - 03/26/2003 3:05:23 AM; IP 32.103.153.146
You know, it's hard to remember each piston as i installed them. It's been so long since i did all this work that i can't be 100% sure about the end gap positions. I am about 90% sure,but not positive.I purchased a new set of rings that were for my motor, 390 bored 40 over. I honestly didn't check the end gaps in their cylinders, i know i should have but what can i do now.I'm assuming that they are correct.I took the heads in to another machine shop and they did a complete valve job, soup to nuts.As far as the pistons being callapsed, the rebuild kit i purchased for my motor came with a new set of pistons.My guess as well as my hopes are that the problem might lie in the valve seals. Here is some insight that might help you help me. The rear drivers side sparkplug is the plug that is the most wet, however the driver side exhaust smokes much much less than the passenger side, which plugs aren't nearly as wet but wet none the less.This side smokes a lot. Can you figure that out, does that support my guess as to the valve seals. Speaking of valve seals and guides, how can one check them out if my heads have two to three springs on them, i can't see anywhere inside there to check. PLEASE HELP!!
This thread, so far...
