Re: Daverods 52
ahhhhh, been in your shoes kinda. My previous engine (one I put in when I started building my 51') was just a stock engine that I put a cam and intake on yada yada. Thing never had good oil pressure to begin with. I ended up flooding it out a ton because somehow the main vacuum port in the back of my carb got unscrewed. Couldn't figure that out till I switched carbs. It slowly ran worse and eventually blew a main, my oil when squirting right up and over my fenders all over the garage in the dead of winter. SOOOOOOO..... it will feel like it will never get done, but I assure you it will. I am actually sooo glad that happened to me, cause now I know what to look for and I rebuilt my current engine, all but the crank and mains hey time was a factor. I like it and understand it more now. I'm working on a vortec engine too, so hopefully I'll swap them out next year.
Anyway, I'd just take the engine out, pop the heads, make sure your threads are good in the block, put new gaskets in and put more sealant on your threads. I used the white stuff and my buddy just uses rtv black high temp silicon, that stuff is nice and thick, but hard to clean outta threads. Maybe change your oil. Also use break in additive if you have to break the cam in, sux cause all that oil and additive is money wasted if you got water and anti freeze in it. keep us posted and good luck, your truck will be awesome.

Re: Daverods 52
I think I'll just take the engine out of my 66 take the heads off it. Put them back on right. Then swap it to the 52. Good thing is I have some good work coming up. So more parts. Really the head thing just cost time more than anything. Maybe I'll learn how to put heads on right. Think a longer bolt in the head would help?

Re: Daverods 52
How can you strip a head bolt?

Re: Daverods 52
You need to tap all the head bolt holes and blow them out to clean the threads This is so you get the correct torque, and not strip the bolts
![]() Just a thought incase you didn't know.

Re: Daverods 52
yeah strodder made a good point, especially now that you have all that sealant in them, run tap down and blow em out, double check the hole that your bolt was in. Honestly, I'd just buy all new head bolts, old bolts actually stretch and are just weaker. Also torque in steps, 25, 45, 65 for example.

Re: Daverods 52
Fel pro is the best. Check the head bolts for the size dummy.

Re: Daverods 52
Ran my engine for about 20. Everything ok. I reved it between 2 and 3. Great for heating up the garage. I ran some hoses for the exhaust. Kinda worried about the temp.210. I was in a garage reving it up for 20. Guess I should finish up my brakes so I can go for a ride.

Re: Daverods 52
210 seems on the higher side for me just sitting there. You check your timing? I guess now that your in the initial breakin stage, see what it does at 900rpm depending on what your cam likes for idle. Make sure your waterpump and belts are tight? Glad to hear your running though.

Re: Daverods 52
I checked the belts, thermo 195 ,timing at 4 bdc,15 lbs cap, I am running just water? I'm thinking it will be ok. Got it all jacked up this morning,working on the brakes today, flex to converter, trans lines (in bent one already). Front air lines are still leaking I keep tighting them to much and breaking them.

Re: Daverods 52
210 does seem a little hot. Antifreeze should help.
