Re: 70 c-10 Rebuild and redo

Well if it weren't for bad luck, you know the saying.... Fired off great but I had some radiator problems and had to order a new one as stated above. Got a beautiful new aluminum one and got it installed and looking good. Filled her up and fired it up to do the break in. All of a sudden shes blowing white smoke, OMG. Cut it off and pulled the heads and there is water everywhere. I guess the heads are bad, they had been angle milled and I guess just to much or either the head bolts were to long, I'm just not sure but back to the drawing board. I ordered a new set of Dart Heads from summit and they are supposed to be here Monday, just praying that fixes the problem and the beast will fire again. Man that thing sounded awesome for a minute. This is gonna add a chunk to the build cost but practically everything else is new so I guess new heads will last a long time.
