    Puffing steam out vents

    Lou that video was shot Fri. and was the reason for pulling heads, put them back on Sat. with new gaskets, still have some stuff to re-assemble before I can start the engine.

    Puffing steam out vents

    UPDATE: Torqed heads with new gaskets, set intake manifold with new gaskets, pressure tested to 20psi no hissing no leak down, so happy the block aint cracked, all valves are closed rockers loose if the even matters for this test.

    Puffing steam out vents

    Oh jeez your right about the cyl 4-6 would this also take on water? The manifolds are freshwater cooled alpha gen 1, and I replaced riser gaskets due to visibile corrosion/leakage at external joint.

    Oh crap yea the 5.8 cobra was years ago, I now have a 5.7 chevy. I cant help to think it has somethin to do with risers as thats all I messed with over winter, oh well Im learning going through the motions not necessarily needed uggh.

    Puffing steam out vents

    Yes it went to normal running temp. Combustion chambers and piston tops all look uniform as did the spark plugs, the only thing that looks suspicious is see pics of intake runners 1 clean set on both banks, maybe from sucking steam in from vents at flame arrestor..

    Puffing steam out vents

    First run of season, block and manifolds were drained for winter, ran all last year without incident, inoriced the steam at home in driveway on hose but disregarded it for moisture burning off. Took on lake and vents spitting out droplets of water after running awhile, engine temp normal powers...

    A motor question on Cristmas day uggh

    Got r out! The holes bottom out solid, ya think a 1/2" or so longer lag may do it, maybe a big plastic wall anchor insert? I'll figure out something.

    A motor question on Cristmas day uggh

    Well Merry Chistmas out there to all. Question about my 5.7 motor mount. Need to gain some access but leery on screwing up rear mounts reefing on the engine, is this possible? Or stressing the transom? I have an alignment bar so no worries there, the stringer mount holes must be plugged and...
