Retorque Question
I have an 83 C10. It has a 305 motor (My Profile Picture) that I replaced both head gaskets on because they were toast. It's been running great and driving great until I noticed a miss and an external leak (seeping) on Number 8 Cylinder. So, I retorqued both sides and the miss is gone, and the...- Laqota

Proper timing for 454 BBC?
Hello there. I have a 454 big block with a few modifications in my 75 K5 and was wondering what proper timing should be. It's a 74 block out of I believe an old impala wagon. It was rebuilt in the mid 90s, but no major performance parts were added. I bought it last year, and right now it...- AyWoSch Motors
