Scott, Yes, hard to get good measurement on thickness of the seals. But there was at least .015/.018 wear on both halves. So the ID of the seal has been worn down at least .030. On the leaky seals, looking at photos, there is also a grove on the flat seal surface. I think that the knurled...

That was conclusion I came to also. The knurled seal surface on this crank is better described as cuts. can't measure them, but they are probably .030/,050 deep. I haven't seen an original GM knurl, but other makes that I have sceen are nowhere near this deep! No vacum pump, so I propose to...

I know this is an old subject, but would like to get an opinion from the experts! I have a leaking rear crank seal after only 1800 miles. I am about 95% sure that leak is comming from the shaft lip seal(nothing is for certain!). Here are the facts that I know: Fel pro 40613 lip seal Chinese...

Thanks, A good set of pistons, JE is the best! However, with our deck ht, the 1.367 compression ht won't work. Good Luck.

We are interested in your JE's . Can you provide more info? Wrist Pin size Comp Ht or pin ht Ring widths, 1/16, 1/16, 3/16? Do you have the speck sheet that comes with the pistons? Thanks,

What is the Pin height?

Sorry about that. Build is a 406 SBC with twin 61mm turbos. Front mt air to air intercooler, Edlebrock victor heads, 9:1 compression. Block and heads surfaced for cometics. EFI by Fast XFi, roller cam specked by Strezo. Dart block with ARP thruout. Street and strip car. Thanks, Earl

Per the SCE guys, the Titian series has silicon beads silk screened on to seal the water pasages along with the ICS feature for compression. They also said that re-torque was necessary.

Has anyone tried the SCE ICS head gaskets. Seems like a great concept but does anyone have experience to share? I have not had very good sucess with the cometics. They seem to be prone to leak oil from the galley. A little seeping oil isn't too bad, but if that oil finds a way into the...

Joe, Steel material, not SS. Inlet flange is 3/8, outlet is 1/4.

New Precision Turbo, flanges. a pair of T-4 inlet flanges, pn 074-1011 and a pair of 4 bolt discharge flanges, pn 074-3005. Would like to have $17 each for the T-4 inlet flanges and $8 each for the discharge flanges, plus shipping.

Looks like a pretty cool stock block---It is a stock block isn't it?

hardblock Reg, Did you rebore & hone after filling the block? Earl
