deuce valve lash

[Westex]

Yes, I need some vc gaskets also. Anybody?

I got mine from m35 tom $80 shipped they are the latest version. so far so good

Baxter, you are talking about Head Gaskets, they are looking for valve cover gaskets. Did your Head Gaskets come with valve cover gaskets also? I am wondering if M35 Tom will find a way to offer complete head sets including intake/exhaust and water outlet gaskets with the Head Gaskets. That would be real good. JT out

Your right I am sorry after trying to kill myself trying to install some 395's last night I am still very tired. I had to get a complete overhaul kit. sorry for the misinformation.

 

[jatonka]

I understand tired, get some rest, then tell us if you got the overhaul set from M35Tom. I'm hoping he will handle all the gaskets we need. He is knowledgeable and straight up in my book. JT

No the gasket kit came from Boyce they a close so I just drove up and picked them up cost was $250.

What are you all using to hand turn the engine? Giant socket on the crank pulley nut?

Transfer in netural, trans 5th and long pry bar in the jackshaft.

A long handled 3/4" ratchet and socket. If memory serves it needs a short extension.

I set mine a while back on one of my trucks that had 6,100 miles on a depot rebuild engine and it seems to have a little more valve noise now. Only a few of the valves need changing so I may be imagining things.....

It had new looking valve cover gaskets that were still resilient so it may have been done since the 1989 engine rebuild too.
