****** Tired!! Ok Some of you may Know i just Did a H/C on my car..I took my time and a week later im done..
BUT...MY ****** POWER STEERING PUMP WONT GO IN RIGHT!!
Its not dirty because these are brand new heads..Maybe the threads are different
I had the 806, and now these are 243??
So everytime, i try to start the car to finish the last part of the install..The belt slips off..Any ideas??
Also my Coolant crossover pipe is leaking..I kept all the gaskets
My car is sitting there ready to drive and these 2 things are in my way!!

definately the power steering pump..The bolts won't thread in all the way, leaving it hanging down a bit, so there is some slack on th belt..Everyhting else lines up straight

^ agreed shorter bolts, you could also throw some washers in there to push the whole power steering assembly back too
- if something didn't always go wrong mechanics wouldn't charge $95/ hr

OK use the RTV..Is there a certian way the gasket mates to the block..For example, does the bigger hole in the gasket go over the screw or does it go over the actual venting part of the tube that goes in the block??

you need to find out why the ps pump is not going in all the way. it does not matter what heads because they swap in the same. i went 243 to 317 to 823 and the ps always went all the way in. try a thread chaser or tap and just see if there is something in there. using shorter bolts is a half-*** job that could result in pulled threads. as for the coolant pipes, oreilly and autozone carry the gaskets in the motormite section.

im such a ****** idiot...I thought i had the belt tightened up so i went to start the car, and heard this horrible loud "bang", then followed by the loudest "PING" I ever heard, my ears are still ringing..turns out i forgot to install the spark plug wires on the spark plugs
hope i didnt **** anything up..i shut it off in like a second
