HEAD GASKETS ARE FINE......TURNS OUT I'M JUST AN IDIOT 

Yea I just feel like an idiot for letting the car sit for almost two weeks over a damn belt. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Thanks! Will do!

Thrust is tight. We actually checked that bad when we were losing crank signal. Great suggestion though!👍

I’m not either. But it’s getting one. Especially since we found out the crank was chewed to pieces in the last video

Who’s “no one” 🤣

OEM crank doesnt have a 4" stroke😉

@@BadLuckGarage 370 cid is plenty to run 4’s. But if your rich build a 400+ heck baller at 427 cid 😎😎😎

@@HeadFlowInc It would be a 359 I believe. Not a rich build but I'm planning to spend between $2200-$3000 max for the rotating assembly when I do it.

People snap stock cranks all the time lol

That sucks brother. Hopefully thats not the case with this one.

That reminds me of the DR Nova China head gasket debacle we had. 🥴

Great to hear! I've heard good things about the rhodes prebent cages.

@Bad Luck Garage they come alittle long, so all you gotta do is cut to your liking and weld it up

🤣

I do as well. It’s a horrible habit. Lol.

Yea we all have those brain fart moments. The older I get, the more of them I seem to have. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I did the same on steppinwolf years back. Ended up I had over 2 gallons of water in the bottom of the tank,lol.

Yes you can buy it at harbor freight. Or you can just pressurize the cylinders and look for bubbles like I did. The combustion gas tester is way easier but I don’t own one so old school it is for me. 👍

Good point. lol

Make sure all the engine harness ground on the back of the heads are tight. Also make sure you don’t have the fuel injector or coil harnesses swapped from side to side. I’ve covered this issue in other videos on the channel. Matter of fact we had a similar issue with Chaos Theory on first startup a couple years ago because I forgot to tighten down one of the grounds on the back of the drivers side head. Engine would act like it wanted to hit but just backfire and shoot fireballs out the exhaust. All because of a bad ground connection.

Thanks brother. I feel like a total idiot though.😄

I've explained why multiple times already brother.

@@BadLuckGarage sorry if I missed alot but I drive a semi so that's much excuse, but unless you want to make like 1500 hp then I don't see the reason but hey its your dollar

@@davidcunningham00 We're planning for 1100-1200 at the wheels and want it to last with some room for error, not just be another "run it till it blows" throw away engine. @William Cordle drives a semi too and never misses a livefeed, lol. I'm just messing with you....but seriously I give him shit on all the live feeds about watching and driving. 😂😂😂

@@BadLuckGarage yeah if we get caught doing that it can cost us BIG time, I wasn't trying to be a jerk

Thats what I need to discuss with Brad. Whether or not he feels comfortable welding CM. Even if I end up going with DOM it can still be added onto later if I decide to.

@@BadLuckGarage Just have to TIG CM can MIG DOM, but if you want a cage certified faster than 8.50, it has to be CM. Will TIG CM with er70s2, filler rod.

@@funfun8095 Thank you! He was saying something about that last time I brought it up but I know jack snot about welding, lol.

No it was that other company you told me about....Elring. Didnt you say they made the Mahle gaskets as well?

@@BadLuckGarage Mahle, Elring, GM, all made in same factory. I believe it's Mahle (moly), as the company.
