I have a 74 302 fwc marine ford with alpha drive
Hey guys i'm just back from the auto parts store they had marine fellpro gaskets so i got a set.
the old head gaskets look good but there are several small holes for cooling that are totaly blocked on the old gasket! that must be why my motor gets hot. i'm not sure if that caused bubbles when you take the rad cap off but that's the reason why I went exploring. if your run it fast it will boil over.
all the valves look ok, I read all about the non adjusting valves on fords, keeping the pushrods in order...and I have a manual
anywords of wisdom ?
