Cometic Head Gaskets .040
Cometic Head Gaskets .040 OK this is gonna sound really dumb and something i should have caught or aleast noticed . I just did heads and cam in my car is a 2002 camaro . I bought tsp ls6 stg 2.5 heads and torquer v3 cam. After everthing was installed the valves where hitting the pistons just ever so slightly. I had everything checked front to back at a autoshop the couldnt find anything wrong with what i did . However today i was wwrapping some part up for jason to send back ( the head gaskets) and i noticed something weird . The head gaskets only had two pieces ? So i went to there web sight and sure enough it is missing the middle piece. I didnt measure the remaining two piecs < but my question is with that piece missing . The middle one cause my valves to hit the heads? And who fault is this . I mean i pulled them outta of the package that way and never thought twice just assumed they would be right? I now owe alitte over 900 to the pdr the place that put it back together. Should i call cosmetic or talk to jason about this? That wasnt may fault ? Oh i just put the >052 back on the car. Runs great!
if you were slightly tagging the pistons (even if the gaskets were missing a piece) just going to a .052" gasket won't give you the .080" or so you need to have for proper clearance.if you ever have even slight valve float may result in bent valves. good luck.

you all know what i meant LOL sorry for the spelling. The car isnt running great . no more than i half hour later they called and told me that it was hitting agian . #4 is hitting exh valve. YOu can see where is just tapped the piston. I dont know what the hell to do . The vavles are only 202 157 . Jason told the shop to do a valve drop and see where they where at with that . I have not heard anything back.
oh not to mention the old lady thought she would go ahead and get invovled . Jesus ***** ............ you start talking money flames shot from her head. Oh well i guess i needed a break from her. I spent the last4 night at a buddys house. So this project has really taken a turn for the worse . Not to mention I think she called Jason and snapped on him. ****
