Piston hitting Heads? ok i got a lil issue, i recently picked up my dream car, 83 z28 i got it for 300 bucks, converted from 305 to what im guessing a 350 and no manual trans, has a th350 with a B&M quicksilver shifter, gave me brand new GM performace heads for free, soo... now i got spairs, the only downside to the car is a loud taping sound
I have done small things, took off the valve covers checked for movement, didnt see anything, so i went to the side that had the tapping sound, and removed the head, what i found was what i want to say was #7 pision hitting the head, was trying to figure out what caused it and is there anything i can do to fix it without doing a complete removal or brake down, if not thats ok ill do what i have to do to get her running again.
My guess so far, is that the copper head gasket was too thin for the head-piston clearence? Can anyone help me please?
