What are you guys torquing your steel shim gaskets to? Isnt there an issue with sealing with these stock gaskets, and how do you address it?
Also, anyone else out there running '87 gaskets on there '84-'85 tall deck block? I am currently having a issue with a bit of lifter/pushrod chatter, probably due to the thicker headgaskets, and am contemplating swapping them out for stock steel shim.
P.S. Lee or Big Daddy, if your out there, I would really be interested in your thoughts on this Hotair headgasket subject as far as using the .064 thicker '87 gaskets on a hotair, or stock. Lower compression ratio = more boost = more hp? What do you guys think/recommend?
