Re: Head gaskets and timing tbi 454

Ok, the motor is an 87 tbi 454 all stock with the exception of an rv cam. I still need to figure out the timing, however. I did figure the overheating out though. It was the clutch fan. It was fine when I parked the truck two months ago to fix the motor and it showed no sighns of being bad. No play in it, cold it would only spin about 3/4 of a turn, nice and smooth no noise. But it didn't seem to be putting out the air it should. As soon as the new one kicked on I knew that was it. It was like a jet engine compared to a box fan. But please someone out ther tell me what my base timing should be for it. Thanks!
