    Leaking Head

    Hey guys, probably a pretty stupid question, but I'm young and don't know a ton about engines Lol. My SBC 350's passenger side head underneath the alternator currently looks to be leaking. There are no drips only moisture. I was just wondering if I pull the valve covers if I would be able to...

    Break-in oil

    I'm getting ready to prime my oil pump today. What oil should I use, and how should I break in this sbc 350. I hear hard is the way to go, then some say easy. I'm more for the easy but this is my first rebuild. So I want to do this right. Thanks
