Inliners International Forums General Discussion Blown and Injected Tearing down 25 year old 250 build.

It's funny, just last night I set the head gasket on my Pontiac L6 and noticed the gasket had flairs around the bores, and I thought about tapering the bore to the gasket like you have done. I know on the V8 Pontiac's it's common to notch the bores like that on the 326/350 blocks to stick 455 heads on them.

Side note, how do you get proper torque on the head bolt in the port? All the torque wrenches I've seen are too tall with a socket on the end to fit in a port.

And thanks for sharing, I always like seeing a good tear down.
