Did you replace any gaskets when you rebuilt it and bore'd it over?

It could be thatUr head bolts are strecked you need new ones they say they are torqued or there is oil or some liquid in the bolt holes

the head bolts are new the oil just comes tight out around head it sucks air in by head it will start but it take like 2mins of the engine turning over then it will start and when i give it the gas you can hear it is sucking the air then if i let out of the gas it will idle really slow then just shut off

 

[verndawg]

i ment right

check the bolt holes to make sure thay are clean cuz if not you can never get it tight all the way. but it sounds like a warped head, did you pull it off hot?

Thought the manual says that the torque spec for the head bolts is somewhere between 23-29 lbs. I cant remember exactly, I think I put mine just about at 29-30lbs

could that be my problem why im blowing head gaskets is by torking them to 40 pounds or is there any thing else i can check to see wat is making them blow head gaskets

[duneracerweston]

it says to torque it to 38-39ftlbs and it sounds like the head or juge is warped to me

just cause the shop put it in doesn't mean it's right. If you cna hook it at all with your fingernail it's probably not pressed in all the way

this is kind of a stupid question but are you using a copper head gasket spray?
