Re: Just installed heads/cam and now car is blowing smoke and won't idle Got some pics of my heads today. Here they are

Passenger Head

Intake port on passenger head, there is a little indention in it. Not sure if you can see it in picture. All of the intake ports have these on passenger head. I think only one had it on driver head.

Passenger exhaust ports

Driver side head

One clean looking spark plug

One dirty looking spark plug

Intake ports on driver head

Indention on first intake port on driver head

The exhaust ports looked just like passenger side head. Ran out of disk space to take another picture.

Re: Just installed heads/cam and now car is blowing smoke and won't idle Hey Zoo, let me know when you get this worked out. What heads did you use and what did you have done to them? I'm interested in the rrheads myself. <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Re: Just installed heads/cam and now car is blowing smoke and won't idle Turned out the heads were cracked and I got them welded back up. It was nothing from rrheads but somewhere else.
