I used some FelPro 1009's once that apparently overhung and blew.
When exactly did this happen? Was it with these heads and after the machining?
How did you discover that water was getting into a cylinder?
No this was in the motors old days. All the stuff (heads/machine work) is new. Motor was broken in and dyno tested, the shop didn't report any problems. Started spewing coolant as soon as I got it installed (which was like a year after I got it back, I am a slow worker) and started it.
The water got in the oil too, not just the combustion chamber. Does that offer any clues as to what is happening?
Also, I am not going to buy new head bolts, I am going to check the bolt and dowel lenghts, and I am going to buy better gaskets, probably the recommended Edelbrock 7325.
Maybe I am already insane, and that is causing my car problems, not the other way around!
Thanks for all the help, it is really appreciated.
