Edelbrock Heads - Finally Installed
Man what a job, but I think it was worth it. I spent a lot of time:
- Checking for P/V clearance (only 0.080 on the intake side...not great)
- Chasing the threads in the block with a 7/16" tap.
- Wire brushing the head bolts
- Bleeding
- Cleaning the block surface
- Setting up the adjustable valvetrain
- Setting up the Isky adjustable guide plates
- Bleeding some more
- Orienting the distributor
- Vacuuming, blowing off parts with air, degreasing with brake kleen
As expected, the engine is a little louder at idle, and a lot louder at WOT.
The check engine light stays on now...I checked all the connections to the sensors which is usually the cause. I guess I'll have to do a code scan.
Also, the engine warms up much faster. I hope it doesn't cause issues in the summer.
Overall, I'm satisfied. Guess it's time to change my sig!
