SCJ BAD NEWS!!!!!..... HELP.

I was looking over my SCJ heads I got from Lem and I noticed a slight problem. I found where 2 valve cover bolt holes where drilled into the intake runners, I didn't think that was a bad problem, then futher upon inspection I also foun 2 intake runners just below the rocker arm stud had a hole in the casting, Has anyone else seen this on these heads? Both heads are like this. Could someone explain this for me?

dont worry thats how they are!!!!! use a little sealent!! LITTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of sealant would I use? Is it just dead space between the top of the runner and the rocker arm stud?

Justin didn't know about the holes? You didn't about the holes?

MMM. OK.

That ain't no Bad News,,,,,they ALL come that way. You'll see it with A-429 heads, CJ heads, Edelbrock heads, Blue Thunder heads and the list goes on. Where have you been? Don't worry, be happy

Peace.

Coping an attitude with out trying to understand how things are machined in the world today will not get you anywere here pal!you PISS people off here and you wont have a leg to PISS on when you have a "REAL PROBLEM" yellow dog!

yes all cj/scj stock heads are the same way with valve cover bolts protrude in intake ports,this is not a problem

The SCJs that I have removed the studs from appear to have been install with loctite which is a great sealer . The TFS A460 are the same way.....ported heads with have more "hole" yet . The air/fuel does not seem to care .

Well I appericate that guys, remember that I only was building modular motors before I jump ship to the big block. Anytime a 2V cylinder head had a hole in it, it was no good. I guess anyone who doesen't know that the SCJ heads are built like that won't know till they ask any way. It looks like when someone ports too close to a water jacket and makes the metal so thin it breakes into it. That is what I was worried about. There was a few bad proudcts that was around for the modular motors, It was all just a bad run of the mill.


As for you Larry, if I had gotten an attitude Lem would have been the first to hear it, FYI for you Dave's remark goes back a while so until both of you pole smokers made your remarks there was not a problem.

It's really simple to just use valve cover studs in those upper holes.

That's what I did with my A429's. I loctited the studs even with the intake ports.

This is what I mean when I said you haven't learned, so let me spell it out for you so you will stop.

You're bs'ing.

I called you on the carpet for it once, as others have, and you immediately jump on the name calling game. I know I don't sugar coat things for you, but the truth is the truth. I do not have a problem with you, just with your bs'ing.

For future reference, when you purchase something, and you think there is a problem with it, correspond with the seller first before jumping on the internet. That is proper etiquette.

Dave

No I asked here first to see if I was wrong, which I was. Last I checked that was legit question. No only was I wrong but others helped me with making sure the heads are sealed.

Yes Randy, after you told me about this when we dynoed my engine I installed v/c studs in mine! No vacuum leaks with studs.
Gary

All post are correct, in fact Ford motor co had a service bulliten about vacuum leaks from loose or missing valve cover bolts etc. All the factory castings were that way because of port size.
