any one ever use the 440 source heads that are closed chambered and better than factory heads?

i dont have antfreeze in the oil, but blows antifreeze sky high. like 4 to 6 inches out of radiator. engine runs like crap hard to stay running , irratic idle, fire coming out of carbs and pops . what would cause antifreeze to blow like this? the engine problems im having sure sounds like a...

i just replaced the head gaskets but im thinking more on the line of a cracked head or somthing on that line

this is a new build and irattice idle comes up n down .sprayed carb cleaner along intake and carbs. hard to tell with iratic adle. antifreeze blows through radiatior once it warms up. the upper radiator hose moves after it blows antifreeze not like a air in cooling system more like a volcano...

17 deg base on a 564 lift w 297 307 duration - - - Updated - - - would a gasket blow due to to much duration - - - Updated - - - the heads and intake have been shaved also

im running a 10.5 -1 compression motor and have had lots of issues with this engine running right. would to much advance on dist. cause it to blow i used victoror gaskets should i of used a steel gasket or a thieel gasket? with a wild cam ? on a 440 engine.

amen

i just blew the head gaskets out omfg. does any thing work right? hope i didnt ruin a piston or a rod or valves. i started it up after i took for a ride and it got hot imediatly. less than a mile n blew antifree every where. but all i could find was a leak in radaitor, it wasnt leaking b4 and...

im trying to time it w vacume advance pluged . and idle goes up as i advance

i put new wires on yesterday. got carbs fixed floats were out of specs and got a/f set but i set timming old school way n the more i advance the idle comes up .i reduce but now enginge will die when i get back to tdc being i lower the idle when i advane being engine raises in ilde when i set...

motor was completly rebuilt machine shap put in new bearings honed cylinders checked heads and pollished crank and shaved heads etc got motor to run decent. but either it been a long day or a brain fart!! i got idle mix set but timming is almost off the board. im advancing dist but way past...

comp 10.5 -1

im running comp cams 564 grose lift. duration 295 307, 251 257 @50, 110 lobe seperation. i think the carbs need to be rejeted and metering rods and springs. yes im running dual quads. i am on here alot and post alot also . ive just set timing to 10deg advanced just for start up. i thought it...

im running edelbrock n i think the intake was leaking i took it off and cam off with out any force just lifted off i used copper spray on the valley pan but maybe only part of my problems - - - Updated - - - whats spark advance u meane timming advanced or somthing else? i put a light on...

im using a mechanical fuel pump. and not sure of the pressure, would a vacume leak cause to run rich? all i know is i dont want to ruin another motor or have to redo it like i did this one.due to the cam bolt to come lose? and ive inicialy set timing at arount 10 advanced.
