^Right, but they look too big for stock heads.

Steve, is that intake ported? do a trial fit with the new gaskets first and make sure the intake isn't the problem. If it's been ported over stock-it may sit too lo even with stock gaskets.

What heads are those? You look like you could use stock intake gaskets on those. Would give you a fair bit more sealing surface.



Yeah, I think we've already agreed on that as per my previous post ;)

To the OP:

Here's a 1250 (can't see the gasket) sized port. This is a TFS-R intake and a ported GT40 iron.

PROBLEM RESOLVED! :)

I've been computerless for 9 days, so haven't gotten on to tell ya'll how things turned out.

It appears the gaskets were in fact the prob. Got some for the stock heads and voila, no more clouds of thick smoke comin out the pipes! Haven't got the breathers on yet Richard, but will this weekend.

Now i realize i've taken us far away from where this post started out (prob setting the timing), and i still haven't got that sorted out as my timing light crapped out on me. Store gave me a brand new one in exchange, but haven't had the time to get to that yet as i've got a child in hospital right now, but i'll get to her in time. I'm just real glad to have the oil prob sorted out.

THANK YOU again to all who posted and helped me get this fixed. I think i may have said this before.... but you guys on this site are the BEST! Thanks again man.

Sorry to hear about a sick child Steve-hope everything is ok.
Glad to hear about the clean-burning car though. For the breather, you can use one on the nipple as mentioned, or simply plug the nipples off and run a breather for an oil cap. I'd go with the nipple-style personally, cuz' the cap will be oily and every time you open or touch it-you'll get greasy hands.no:
