RE: FE Cooling system doesn't need reengineering.

Gerry,

Thanks for the inputs. I'm aware it might be the head gaskets; I was REALLY careful when I built the motor to avoid just that. Might still be I did something bone-headed and reversed them, but I just want to try this other stuff first because to check the head gaskets I have to pull the motor up 3-4" to get the header bolts all out. I just want to check the easier stuff first.
Also, I think 30 degrees on timing is about all the motor will put up with; I tried up at 36 degrees, and with the Performer RPM cam in it, there was a lot of lug when cranking the motor over. There is no vacuum advance on the distributor; I've got an MSD Pro-Billet unit.

Thanks again for the inputs!

Jeff
