    a few questions need a answer please

    thanks for the replies. I can get stock shims but I'm 30 over and the stock shim was aready borderline with the bore. I'm afraid a stock shim will hang over. I couldn't see anything in the FSM about service head gaskets or part numbers. The mr gasket ones are huge 4.450 and people say they got...

    on my 383 with 4.281 bore, what size gasket should I use? 4.350 or 4.380? I wouldnt want it hanging into the bore. Seems thats all I can find is the cometic. I'd like a steel shim but mr gasket is 4.400 thanks!

    says 2.5002 but the sheet looks incomplete. I only see a bore gauge mark on a few rods but thats why I paid someone $2800 to take care of all that....now I'm unsure if it was really checked thoroughly. I didnt get a balance sheet from the guy he sent it to either. He said he's old and grumpy and...

    I made it easies to see now sorry. It looks like it came from the factory like that. that lighter gray area looks to been rubbing. I think I will take the cap off and massage that edge a bit so it isnt a sharp step. not much else I can do really What do you make of that?

    I gave all the face to face surfaces a rub. they were all not bad but 2. the highspots scratched the paper. 1 was easily rubbed away but 1 is the esge of the cap catching. Not sure how to take care of that....I wonder if that number 3 rod cap is the mate to the rod? thats quite a edge poking out...

    Is my new build doomed because I bought a flat tappet?

    I contacted the place I bought the cam and lifter kit with the pictures and they said not to use them and I have another set in the mail from them. Hopefully they look better. I also called comp cams and sent the pictures and they just remained neutral and said I should decide myself. pretty...

    Is my new build doomed because I bought a flat tappet?

    Its just the waiting to get the parts then to inspect them then send them back wait rinse and repeat. Back in the day I dont think I even looked, just threw them in and no problems. If someone said, "thats nothing, they will wear a bit and polish themselves out that would be ok" but with all the...

    I think 1 figure 8 on 400 will show any high spots. I will lightly and carefully file them off probably 1 stroke. Thank you for the replies I feel a bit better now.
