            I had to go back out and pull the intake ONE MORE TIME... since the heads
            have been cut to fit a shorter deck I have to stack 2 .045 gaskets to get things
            to line up... this time I glued the 2 gaskets together with Right Stuff... tomorrow
            I will use the Right Stuff on the head surfaces and stick the gaskets on then use
            it on the intake side of the gaskets then install the intake... yeah I canceled already
            but this just buggs the shit out of me... its the first engine in 50+ years thats trying
            to get the best of me.... and before I went into the military I did the engines at a dealership
            so its not the first engine... plus I do mine race engines... but this is the first time with
            these heads (I think)

              I ran around in circles trying to find out why mine was smoking. It had what looked like perfectly good and a very popular brand valve seals on it. I changed them and the problem went away, i had my machine shop look at them, my dad, my friends, nobody thought it could be the seals. I changed the seals just as a last resort and the problem went away. Frustrating because I spent about $200 in gaskets and shit in the process for it to end up being some seals I paid $17 for....welcome to hot rodding!!

              I wanted to see the Rampage though damnit!

                I changed to the blue seals this time around... this is a new block, new pistons, new rings,
                same heads and intake... so to me its a process of elimination... it has to be in the upper end
                because the heads and intake have been on 2 different engines now with the same problem

                      sorry to hear it P-body. I just dropped as well, like Jake there's just too much going on right now for me to do this. I'm kinda crushed.

                        I dropped as well. Got an offer from a buddy to buy the nova so it now has a new home. Maybe I'll be back again some year.. Thinking of doing a studebaker for the gasser class.
