My engine is back from machine shop and re-assy will be starting shortly, I have a few questions for some of you engine builders, First off the car was originally equipped with 2 head gaskets per side, can I just use the Fel Pro head gasket set which has the thicker head gasket? which are of course not the steel shims as the factory used.
Another Question is it still has the factory cam and lifters would like to re use the cam and lifters ,the lobes all look fine and solid lifters appear to have slight dishing on the bottom - seems normal for a 70k engine, Sooo- should I Be able to reuse these lifters? If not can I use new ones with the old cam?
