mfg Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 Hello Brad..sorry if I sidetracked this thread Question..Is this R3 engine in R5089? If it is, wasn't that Avanti completely restored a few years ago?...Did the valve problem show up after the restoration was completed?
brad Posted January 12 Author Report Posted January 12 Yes, the short block was rebuilt many years ago, but the heads were not done. The last owner had someone do the heads that did not do a good job. Now they are done correctly. new valves, new guides. bronze inserts in the guides, and surfaced the gasket surface .003.
