You can bait, but I'm not biting. Ever seen a warped 7M block? Ever milled a head from a 7M, placed a MLS gasket on it, and not touched the block??

What worries me is the crack to the bolt hole more that the other one. If it is deemed reusable (and I don't know this for sure), then your best be would be to use ARP head studs instead of head bolts as the bolt hole will not have as much stress on it as a bolt being torqued down into it.

Yay, not far from me either, I may go pick it up before you get to it ;) Just joking :biglaugh:

How's the tire? I see it's scuffed up looking, is it swelled out now?

You plan on doing anthing other that a stock setup?

Get your "head out of your ass". The block can and will warp, so don't try to mislead him. The Correct RA spec has everything to do with obtaining a correct seal as well. It can be a combination of both that caused it. There is more than one way to blow a head gasket, so don't assume that if...

^I wouldn't even do that. You know how old, hard, and dry-rotted that stock dampner is??

Another giveaway would be to look for EGR.

ATI super dampner.

Sure, PM me your emails and I'll send them to both of you. :)

From what I understand, the very early '87 model GTE block did not get cast with oil squirters, that was changed later on, either toward the middle or end of the '87 run of MKIII's, or when the '88 was released, I'm not entirely sure...

Weird, I still see them in my post and in the quoted one, I'm on my work computer right now, anyone want to host the pics on a file sharing site so they can be linked to here for me? (work computer firewall will not allow it).

Toss it, save yourself a tear down of the motor a few thousand miles from now ;).

My original '88 has them too ;). I know this because it's the old casting block too.

There showing up now, can you see them?

UPDATE Well, I got the sell to redesign the FFIM and he's given me a few picutres to look at, for reference in case anyone is interest in obtaining this design from this seller, his ID is Ku Engineering. Input please on everyone's thoughts?

So, who exactly is the new SME for this section?

I prefer the name, "exhaust manifold" ;).

:rofl:

What's impressive is this: He made 650HP... AT 19psi :aigo:
