Hi guys, sorry as a engine rookie I have some maybe stupid questions
Engine is a 426 gen. 2 Hemi with actual 489cui ,( first over bore ) mopar mega block ( cast iron ) with Keith black billet crankshaft , mopars performance aluminum heads ( full ported)
Oliver rods
Ross piston ( compression ratio 11,34:1)
Solid lifter with a roller cam ( 4343-10)
and roller rockers ( Norris / Indy )
Intake Indy mod man with 2 x750 AFB EDE carbs
Head gasket is a 1106 from Felpro
First question: After first engine running felpro recommend to re-torque this head gaskets ?
second question : the valve lash written on the cam card everytime talk about “ warm” engine , right ? if on cold you must add something , right ?
And I have to add also something because I have a cast iron short block and aluminum heads , or just what shows on the cam card ?
Third question: for what are the “ notches “ in the cylinder bore “ on my short block ? And have this done after it comes from the factory by the engine builder, or is this notches make by the factory ?
Many thanks in advance , I a complete engine rookie but want to learn and understand something .
