'84 K10 The Animal- Now on Forty Two's

On the block portion I also find its a big help to let the rtv tack up first to where you can touch it without getting it to stick to you, basically the inside is still soft at that point. I also shoot some rtv into the bolt holes that go through the head, the ones that aren't blind.

I think I'll run the right stuff on the top of the block without the gaskets. I have blue rtv here but these intake gaskets have a raised rib around the ports. Still use rtv?

 

[Bent77]

Yep

 

[skunked]

Cool, thanks guys. I'm torquing the heads down now, then the manifold so I can shoot some paint on it.

Just remember, you paid for that rtv, use it all!

Well, maybe not

I'll have my kid paste it on the gaskets for me

The manifold isn't lining up right, really weird.

All the holes on the passenger side head line up

And the holes on the drivers side are all off like this?

I'm wondering if it's because the block has been decked?

Yep, usually they ask for the intake to mill it

 

[skunked]

Makes sense that would cause this.

However makes me wonder if the compression is higher than I thought previously. Oh well, back to the machine shop on Tuesday.

 

[sreidmx]

Bummer..

 

[JoshHefnerX]

Is the manifold hanging up on that lip on the head - where the valve cover meets?

 

[sreidmx]

That's pretty bad, I'd have it milled to fit.

 

[wetoolowdingbangow]

It must've been decked. A little bit goes a long way. That manifold says it won't fit tall blocks...no idea what that is.

I don't think it's a tall block.

It was until it had a date with the grinder

They made a block with the deck .400" higher

Just needs a little adjustment

Just going to drop this little here.
Prefaced by saying, I'm a Darryl Sutter fan, so hating the Sharts comes easy.

I hope your right.

Probably kiss of death. Sorry if it is.
