I dont want to take the valve covers off yet, using the vehicle everyday, and I would hate for the gasket tear up, and have no time at this point

here is the symbol on the heads does anyone have the decoder for this?

sorry about having to do it that way butthe top part is supposed to go staight up

and th bottom is straight accross all straight lines!

thanks

 

well the engine is a 327, and I was thinking since its running like crap, and it was not the plugs and wires, wasnt rhe carb, there is no blowby indicating bad rings, just maybe he put way too big of headfs and there is not enough compression to run, like 400 heads or something!

I am about to just tear the damn thing appart and start from scratch, or sell the 327 to get a 350
