DV,
I have
oil getting to the coolant. No coolant getting to
oil. No overheating, not even close. I have discussed this at length in the past on another thread. I have some more research to do before I can really comment on the cause. I am thinking it could be the heads themselves I just don't know how to verify that one way or another. There looks to be some deterioration inside the water jackets. We'll see.
I was hoping to find a bad gasket but they look good.
Oil is at a higher pressure than coolant. Which might explain the oil migrating and not the coolant.
My kit was registered as a '97. I will get measurments for you. The headers are made by Sanderson. Original to CR's? I don't know, but the collectors do line up nice at the cut outs. I am assuming the engine must be a couple inches forward. Block to firewall...driverside 1 1/2", passengerside 2 1/2". Air cleaner...10" x 21" oval. Remember I have a 390fe BB.
Anything else? Just let me know. I hate to corrupt this thread with things not focused on Capteddie's build.
John
