What the hell is going on in here?
You think you didn't tighten the head bolts down tight enough?...what?
I hope you didn't reuse the original head bolts. And I hope you used a torque wrench and not just a regular ratchet and socket to install the heads.

I know it's been 2yrs. But I finally got it running under its own power. Everything from before is finished. Now I have this issue with the blazer brakes.I'm trying to use the factory brake lines but every time I hit the brakes fluid leaks out the lines. Do I need the blazer hard lines and soft lines or what? How do I do a 8.8 explorer rear swap?

What about the vss. Does it need to be hooked up? May that he the cause of my problem? If so, what is the pin #? I have blazer converted front brakes.
