Ok basicly I'm comming to the conclusion that my heads have been angle milled, they are AFR220's I baught them used off some guy & noticed no intake fits, when put on the engine the heads stick out past the center section where the intake would mate to the block leaving a gap.
The heads come from AFR as 76CC, these were heavily ported & unshrouded in the chambers which should hass another 3-4 cc, but these heads are now 58CC, now this leads me to belive there was a lot of milling alteast .140", the heads have a stamp that says:
020 110
58cc
to me this means they flat milled the heads .020 & then angle millled them .000 off the intake side & .110 off the exhaust totalling .130" of milling.
Does that make sense guys?
Because looking at the intake ports the floors have quite a bit of distance between the floor & the deck so meaning not much was milled there, buton the exhaust it could have been milled a lot.
Now, as I understand when angle milling, 1* = .110, so these are about 22* I would think now, problem is, I can't use a regular head gasket because of the milling.
I have heard of Cometic gaskets needed angle milling will this help the situation? & is using a head gasket that needs angle milling basicly put it back to the orginal angle? & if so is it better to just use a regular gasket & mill the intake side of the head to use an LT4 intake?
I'm confused guys, HELP!!!!!!!!
