Can you put head gaskets on my bro's 502 mmag mpi


TODAY


Pulled the plugs last night to replace them as it was idleing a little rough.
Even bank was fine but when I got to the odd bank
# 7 had water running out of it.
# 5 had signs.
Took the exhaust manifold off thinking it was the elbow gasket and it looked fine.
Dryed out the water ,wd-40 the cyl and started troubleshooting further.
manifold held water, filled block up with water and looks like a head gasket went south.. NO water in OIL just pumping out the sparkk plug hole and exhaust port. Won't know till we do a leakdown.

motor is a 502 mag mpi with 600 hrs on it. Oh yah, it's had a whipple on it since 100 hrs. We think thats good hrs so far. maybe just put new head gaskets on it along with intake gaskets and run it some more. Motor should run a least 1000 hrs..

Sorry, I just seen this post. I'm headed for Tucson this Tuesday for the next couple months, so I'm gonna be out of pocket

600 hours? I'd rebuild it! At least have the heads worked seeing how you'll have it apart.

Good luck... If you have any questions call me 286-3471
