hey tod, on horsepower tv, they have dynoed an engine, and reused
the gaskets so i think you would be ok with just torquing them down.
and just for the heck, what main bearings wear used on your motor?
when i wanted some good bearings i looked at what pat musi was
using and he uses a lunati crank with king bearings, so i went with
king bearings coated, if they can take the abuse of a bbc from
musi, they should last on a mild motor :wink:
