I use two three inch sections of all thread that I screw into opposite corners of the heads. This helps as a guide when you are placing the lower intake into position. It drops right in place.

No truer words Chris, “Troubleshooting takes time!” I appreciate your integrity and dedication to doing a great job and honestly helping your friends!

Once you do head gaskets on your own car and learn how to adjust valve lash a couple times. Theres nothing left to intimidate you about tearing apart your own motor, it’s an awesome learning experience

Ya but it doesn't make it anymore fun... I think the only part I enjoy is Valve Lash because I do it the lazy way and it works every time lol.

A couple longer bolts with the heads cut off make excellent dowel pins. Intake goes on straight every time

I use high tack gasket adhesive. Works well and sets up fast.

In older engine blocks, there tends to be a recession on the deck where the coolant flows through. It might just be .002 or something on this motor, but it gets worse over time until it gets decked.

my old ´88 5.0 302 block had an ever so slight "bump" in one end after an overheat, nothing helped the overheat issue but a potential decking of the block, but I went with a new block instead. so, What Im saying is, unfortunately new gaskets, milled heads,=no avail...nothing was enough to fix the leak bettween head and block in the one bad section...

When I did the head gaskets on my notch I threaded in old intake bolts with the heads cut off to keep the gaskets in place while I lowered the intake on. Kept everything lined up.

@TheInfamousProject 4 ай бұрын

Thing was the bolt holes are slotted and still allowed the gasket to slip down!

If it helps, I used 4 old intake bolts, cut the heads off and used them as guide pins so the lower intake installs in its exact position.

Wow who would have thought. Good job finding it with the camera

@speedeetrim4028 4 ай бұрын

hey Chris I always glue my intake to head gaskets in place...then drop the intake in place using studs into the heads on the corners...threaded rod cut to length works

@TheInfamousProject 3 ай бұрын

Problem is the gasket still would have dipped most likely due to the elongated holes in the gasket!

Oh yeah the intake gasket slip! Been there. There is an assembly technique to prevent the gasket slip from happening. If anyone is interested? Just ask!

Bro I had a similar issue with my car overheating and sending my head to the machine shop while removing my lower intake manifold it ended up being married to my heads due to coolant passage, so i ended up upgrading my lower upper intake manifold swapping everything over huge headache on thing i found which was kinda cool it had the original head gasket from assembling line

Does a stock cam make a difference in a compression test? I have a fresh stock 302 and I’m getting 95psi on all cylinders. Just curious if a aftermarket cam gives you higher compression on the test

@TheInfamousProject 3 ай бұрын

It would change things for sure however 95 is low but with that said if you're consistent across all cylinders that is good. Try again but make sure all your plugs are out and keep your throttle body wide open...

They used crap head gaskets And the wrong intake gaskets Didnt glue the intake gaskets on Didnt use alignment studs Didnt move the bypass out of the way Didnt look in the holes Must have not smoked enough
