i posted about 2 weeks ago about an overheating problem.
the problem is i dont read directions. i have an early blk and was suupposed to drill additional coolant passages.after doing so tems fine.you would have thought after 1000.$ for the heads i would have took the time to glance through the paperwork.

also for those of you new to performance (me too), when you buy those forged pistons that need those 100$ ring sets make sure and ask for standard tension oil control rings.

Yes, I had to drill extra holes in my block when I installed TFTW heads. I wouldn't have known to do it if they hadn't told me.
