Were u just gonna sell it out of frustration?
Yes. At the state its in a part out would be easy.
Looking forward to putting this together. Amazing the amount of $ we waste on this stuff eh?
Indeed it is.
I beat the dogshit out of some ls7 lifters. I had great luck. Sucks that you didnt.
I used to run a set and never had an issue, but then I know of two sets, two different motors same issues. Never again.

Nope, but this lava stuff is amazing. Wrapping the pipes is easy and best part, no itch what so ever. I did all of that with no gloves, long sleeves etc. Highly recommend it. Seems to not discolor either.

To continue the ramblings of myself, to myself. For any that remember, my car has always had a ****** tapping at idle and increases with load/rpm. First build I thought it was lifters but then it happened exactly the same with new build. Jumped to thinking its either lifter adjustment (it wasn't) or an exhaust leak (it wasn't).
So, after smashing up my hands for a couple hours fixing what wasn't broke, I started it up after adjusted preload to 3/4 turn on lifters, still tapped. **** this. Decided to take belt off in hopes I would get lucky...

Yea that kind of shit sucks. You may need to get the flanges surfaced flat if it is too bad. You were using the right gaskets though, if it won't seal with felpro then pretty much nothing else is going to work.
Look at getting some ARP 3/8" 12-point, 5/16" head bolts for the exhaust. They have the absolute BEST clearance you can get for exhaust. Plus with the whole 12 point undersized head you can get a wrench on them that is strong enough to actually tighten them fully.
33629
ARP 400-1208 - ARP Header Bolt Kit (http://www.jegs.com/i/ARP/070/400-1208/10002/-1) - .750" long bolts $20.96
ARP 400-1210 - ARP Header Bolt Kit (http://www.jegs.com/i/ARP/070/400-1210/10002/-1) - 1.000" long bolts $31.17
Depending on how thick your header flange is, you will need the different lengths.
I've seen header retainer kits, but I have never seen anyone actually use a set. I guess if they were actually needed I would have seen a set by now. I always look under the hood of every car I see.
Here is a link to the header retainers (http://www.jegs.com/i/Stage+8/868/PP8911/10002/-1).
33628
I've actually had pretty good luck with these exhaust gaskets (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fel-ms9275b/overview/), did I mention they are CHEAP, probably $5-6 at your local parts store.
33627
The best part is you don't have to pull the headers to put them in. I think one of the reasons they seal so well is that there isn't useless material in between the cylinders. They sealed just fine on a nitrous/alcohol motor.
shownomercy
07-21-2015, 10:52 AM
I have a set of ARP 12pt nut/stud kit, just can't get em to work on all of the holes so I am hoping I can get a stud in that position and then crank her down.
Gonna get some copper RTV on the gasket, torque em down and pray.

She made it to KY, completed the true street cruise and made the passes for that and ModPA. Drove it back on trailer and made it home to NJ successfully. In that sense, it was an awesome weekend of racing.
But...she is a fucking mess, rear suspension is jacked up, trans is puking fluid, trans doesn't shift well, and or, I can't do a burnout for shit. So back to the drawing board, lots to clean up and figure out what happened between a few weeks ago 10.2@140 to this weekends messhaps.
