Well, it is a definite that I have a blown head gasket on my 292 that is probably causing most of my overheating problem, or wishfully thinking, all of it. I'm going to replace it this weekend to see if that does it. Is a regular felpro gasket from an autozone good enought to use? I drove the truck hard sometimes cuz when I use it, I use it like a truck (pulls stumps easy), so I don't want to blow another gasket anytime soon if that is what caused it.
From the outside, the engine looks bone stock, I don't know if it has even been bored before. I already have the valve cover gasket (felpro), what about the mani gasket, I guess I gotta take all that off too? Any recomendations to make that intake and exhaust come off easy? If I'm carefull, is it possible to leave the carb and exhuast mani attached to the intake? Thanks for any suggestions.
