HHMmmm, There's one for the reference
files! Stripped head bolt(s?) causing
leakage under the valve covers, making
pinpointing the leak impossible. I wonder
if the ARP bolts not threaded
the full length of the shaft contributed.
I've removed the last few threads and
rounded the end of the shaft on bolts to
make finding the hole and starting the
thread easier. It seems to work,
especially with long bolts or threaded rod
where there's no visibility or guidance.
I've never understood the 12 point bolt
heads, except as a way to make us buy
sockets with no other use.

Regarding the intake bolts, we
might want to file this one in the
lessons-learned bank. I
purchased/installed ARP part #
144-2101 named "Bolts, Intake
Manifold, Chromoly, Black Oxide,
12-Point Head, Chrysler, Big Block,
Kit."
Take a look at them compared to
the 3/8-16 x 1 3/4 bolts from the
hardware store (attached). Let's
not even bring up that the ARP bolts
were $36 and I got out of the
hardware store for I think $11,
including the Snickers bar I chomped
on the way home given the wife
wasn't with me.

What great interaction!
Just a bunch of well wishers

own.

Well. I
finally got the stroker to
light up, but I've got
some issues. I hope it's
not serious, but it
doesn't sound good. I had
to advance the timing to
about 50 degrees to get it
to start, and after
break-in, I can't get it
to idle below about 1,800
RPM. And there is an
obvious miss when you kick
the throttle. My 1st
thought on the idle was a
vacuum leak, but I ran
some propane around the
intake and nothing
happened. The timing and
the miss have me
concerned. Could I have
possibly screwed up the
timing chain marks? Any
thoughts?
The good news is I
have awesome oil pressue
and no leaks. It sounds
freaking wicked. Here's
a video:
Thanks,
Jim
