NEW DEVELOPMENT!! i screwed up my headgasket (thats what was in the way of the bolt)
lol hilarious...not, so now i gotta do a headgasket and i didint even wanna spend the 10 on the t-cover gaskets... you guys think i can take off the head without taking off the exhaust manifold and intake?

I always remove my heads with the intake attached but the exhast has to come off. I am carb though EFI may be harder. But really a HG job is cake i can R&R mine in a couple hours, maybe a good time to cleanup those valves, new oil seals, and lap those seats. maybe a RV cam & RV springs is in order as well? Engnbldr a good source on parts I can call him tommorrow morning and he will have parts at my door step the day after tommorrow AMAZING!

black carbon build up is a sign of running rich, I have always had some black.
Is it excessive build up?
Engnbldr said that the 260/430 profile was the best for my 20r/22r hybrid build but the power band really doest shine until I get some really crazy high R's but when it does kick in i clean lugs on my 36" swampers
