[QUOTE="krakum1967, post: 125884, member: 3691"] Yep, it was that bad gasket, I rearranged the plugs so the ones that were nice and gray went in the bad cylinders (number 3 was weak but running). Than I checked the torque on the bolts, and seated the new gaskets. I cut the new gaskets from Car Quest rolled gasket part number JV-13, they hang it in back, this was a full 1/16 inche thick. 3 times the thickness of the stuff I was using, and it is a stiffer cork designed to work on heated areas. So I mounted the new gaskets, and there she is!!!...... This is the best I have heard it run or idle, ever! It seems to like 1250 for the idle speed so that is fine with me. The timing is close but I need to check it tonight. Once I do that I will get all formal on the air/idle. I will take it for a run and see how she does, but it is running so much better than the last setup...way better. And that junk was better than the carbs. So I cant wait to dial it in. Which I start tonight!!!! Sorry if I got down on myself, but I have been busting my ass on this, and for what happened to happen, well I was mad as heck...so thank you Joe for the slow down and take a deep breath string. I think one of the header bolt area on the right head is feeling weak, I did not put a great amount of torque on it cause I want to be able to back it out. I am hoping I can just re-tap and fix it so I am trying to avoid any further thread damage. But I may need to tap it out larger. Scares me, but any advice on that would help. [/QUOTE]
