I took off the heads and had them Redone, replaced timing gears, chain, oil pump, and added MSD 6a box and pro billet distributor I did not put any sealant on the head bolts when I put the heads back on. How likely is it...

    Black stone oil analysis

    Michael, thanks for the reply! I did not retorque the head bolts after the install nor did I use sealant on the intake anywhere except the front and back in lieu of gaskets I will address those areas after doing due diligence with a compression test

    Ultrasonic cleaner: What size?

    I have one I bought for cleaning brass for reloading. Mediocre at best. A commercial one might work for carbs thought. I miss that stuff from the 1960’s. It cleaned EVERYTHING!

    At wits end over my 1984 C10

    I have a MSD pro billet distributor and 6A box for ignition. I had an issue where the starter would turn over the motor just fine but the truck would not start. Cleaned the ground at the battery, core support, and block real well. problem solved

    Carb or Fuel delivery problem?

    Forgot to add: spray the intake manifold where it meets the heads. Sometimes there are gasket leaks. The presence of a leak will be revealed by an immediate and temporary change in engine rpm

    Carb or Fuel delivery problem?

    Leaks may occur baseplate to manifold, baseplate to carb body, top of carb to carb body. At idle spray carb cleaner around those areas to check for leaks.
