Wayne P - Motor in CAV Dyno

Wayne,

Did you ever find the cause of your head gasket failure on the motor in the CAV? How did your dyno numbers turn out? Post some photos of the car if you can.

I'm curious as we both used the same source for the long block and if the failure was attributed to gaskets then I might pull mine and put some different ones in.

Hope it turned out well!

THe gasket failure was due to too much timing. I had inadvertantly placed 12° extra timing in the motor but not placing the trigger wheel in exactly the specified place. Live and learn. I have not been back to the dyno yet for the fine tuning of the motor but will soon.
