Well my 84 vette has been kicking some ass with the renegade intake, edlebrock heads, headers, 3in exhaust system, and those flowmaster 40's w/dual xpipes sound like sex...
However that copper head gasket has been leaking exhaust into my cooling system it seems...
It's pretty sensitive to how hot the car is.
I guess when the manufacturer says it must be installed with stainless o-rings, they meant it.
Anyways, the heads need to come off so i can go over everything, and i decided if i need to go that far, I'm pulling the engine.
And if i'm pulling the engine, then i might as well rebuild it.
And if i'm rebuilding the engine, then i might as well stroke the thing.
Issue i'm running into, with my current camshaft, and 70cc chamber edlebrock heads, I'm getting some pretty high DCR (830).
Pistons with the largest valve reliefs that are also forged, are still only 6.4cc.
Thinking a different camshaft might help... Or i see if a machine shop can open my chambers up a little to get the DCR down a bit...
Thoughts?
