I love your repair methods. :lol:

That is a mile. :thumbsup:

I have no (bad) experience with this. Does anyone here think that the vibration can be noticed free revving the engine, or just at a certain rpm?? This would eliminate the drivetrain factor, sans converter and flex plate, and make it a lityle easier for the OP to solve variables??

I would sure hope the man would have noticed they were bottomed out at the time he installed them!! Im sure hes saying he gained a little height because they are pressurised. Id kinda like to see a "before" pic of the mount tho, as i am not familiar.

In '64 theres a good chance those are '516 heads on either motor. The ones you're using....closed chamber?? See a casting number??

The end play you are setting is the whole package....goes all the way to the other side, if you get my drift.

Yes you can. About any RB manifold will work too. They actually used the same heads on some B and RB engines....totally interchageable

Off-topic, but i do love my -1's yes.

I would think they would pretty much have to be, or maybe even require their own dedicated intake?? Possibly kits to make sheet metal intakes maybe.....

Intumescent is for sealing holes and large cracks.....not really for automotive applications AFAIK.

:popcorn: You would certainly think some of the Max Wedge boys have done it....or at least with very similar heads with the aluminum stands.

Probably, maybe lol. This is the motor built by a well known buider, now having odd occasional yet persistent issues? I havent reread the thread again.... Do we know the particulars of the ignition system, what has been replaced, and is the current coil 100% compatible??? Could be key, and...

Kudos to the man smart enough to buy the factory service manual with the new car!

Someone shoulda cast some of those valve covers for BBMs.
