I don't believe everything he says, but that's well before your time, junior.Quote:

Probably before my time (bought my Regal in '08)
but how is that relevant?
im using zzp s3 heads and can't find ANY solid flow numbers unless I tested them myself
It's relevant because you weren't around when clubgp was hopping. When zooomer spent lots of time on there.
But how is that relevant?
Wheres the flow data ?
JUST TELL ME THE FLOW RESULTS!! Lol
It's relevant because you're a newb.
You are going to have a hard time finding flow numbers. I have no interest inot searching for you.
I'm a newb? Okay....
Well don't tell someone NOT to buy AL heads because zoomer whispered in your ear during big spoon little spoon , that they are out-flowed by the s3 heads
i mean isn't that what you said in the headers thread? Don't tell members to buy products without proof of gains?
Finally got the cam installed, everything went well I hope. Cleaned up the pistons, block head surface and heads are about clean. Going to try and lap them and if that doesn't work going to take it to a local shop, orrr postpone till I can afford to buy ported heads or get them ported from someone local.

One side is clearly on the balance gear drive sprocket and the side with the magnet you can just barely see light through it.

Personal preference. I chose the studs
I've never used the gears. Always just reused the stock ones.Quote:

This is what Ed Labarge told me to use, which I did, and haven't had an issue.
You want white paste type thread sealant with teflon in it .
loctite thread sealant ptfe on google.
Put on head studs and on LIM bolts so they don't leadk
I also used the teflon paste, you can get it at AutoZone, comes in a bottle with a brush.
Chase all the threads. If you want you can use an old head bolt and cut a pair of deep grooves down the side with a cut off wheel
use the PASTE
prep the gasket with copper spray
lube the studs with oil
torque
rinse repeat
Zzp claims they have had less leaks with Teflon tape, even though it is not designed for those threads.
I've always used Teflon paste though. Make sure if you use the paste, you torque the head down right away. Don't let the studs sit overnight and let the paste dry before putting the heads on.
Whichever you use, just make sure you spend a lot of time cleaning the threads.
