On that intake deal. I don't use the rubber pieces they include. I just lay a bead of gasket goop with some extra where the head, intake and block come together in the corner.

Thanks guys!! I did the intake once already when I had a leak so I got that part. I am more worried about doing the cam/timing set. Never done it before and the whole process with break in has me worried I'll screw it up. I'll be doing a lot of reading!!

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Lots of lube on cam and lifters. Get it busted off and running and up to 2k rpm for the twenty minute break in. Have a pal or two to watch for leaks and other problems. Dump the oil and filter and run it. I like to drive it like I stole it but not every one wants to do that.
As Steve pointed out a buddy with previous experience is preferred to the ones who come just to drink your beer.

Most of mine are just there to drink my beer or Captian. Some times It just helps to have a buddy there to say " looks right to me" :icon_lol:Got everything ordered to do the cam and timing set....took 4 different vendors to get it all. Now just gotta study up and wait for boxes to arrive. Im sure once I start ill be back here with questions. Thanks for the help guys
