New Heads On A Used Engine - 08/18/11 06:23 PM
What's up, all. I've always heard that putting new heads on a used engine would cause it to mess up sooner or later. Is this an old wives tale or no? TIA for any help.

Maybe I should have used the word 'myth' instead.

Sounds like the rocker arms are not adjusted correctly, or the maybe the valve job wasn't done right and the valves aren't touching the valve seats all the way.
