Upon shutting the car off I can hear bubbling..coolant isnt boiling.
There is moisture coming out the exh pipe if i put my hand over it. Not smoking but its there.
Not sure an intake gasket would cause this? I could be so lucky.
3 cars, all of them down.

Re: 113 GM heads
That would be a relief, guess I passed over that and went right to HG due to the known issues these 88-91 TPI cars have with it.

Re: 077 heads value
Pics show these are prisine as described have to make a deciison one way or the other
Fair price to pay for these? All I can find are old listings for used ones that had a lot of welding repairs done.

Re: 077 heads value
These are service replacements for the 074s the original ZL1 head

Re: Methanol Injection
I used a SNOW system on a 90 ZR-1 it opened at about 75% throttle. Night/day difference, it didnt pull timing and ping. Without it did. Keeps the carbon down
Id like to put a system on my 'El....used water and windshield washer fluid, simple 50/50
