gerg 10,871 Posted August 20, 2018 Reverse rotation, but coolant still flows the conventional way? ie, out through the top hose? The only reverse-flow setup (I think) I know of was some Corvettes in the 90s (with the LT1 engine) sent water through the heads first and pushed it down through the block. Supposedly allowed more compression, timing, less emissions, blah. It was obviously a dead-end because LS motors went back to conventional in that area.

bear351c 10,270 Posted August 20, 2018 Never got my 289 running...... was gunna put it in my XP coop, but, swapped all the engine parts for Clevo stuff. Did a bit of research on the baby Windsor, had a XR Falcon block, crank, ported heads with screw in studs, etc.. wish I made it all happen, now. Dude at my work had a powder blue XM sedan with a 302 in it, made me drool everytime he started it. 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im glad i didnt just start this up eweee but shes a roller and my first snag the 2 side waterpump bolts are om so tight that im gunna have to grind em off i think ,it will probly root the alloy housing but thats seen better days apart from that all plugs were ok and seems never really touched.Sent from my SM-G570Y using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valvebouncer 2,389 Posted August 20, 2018 Dunno mate, never dealt with the spider thingy. That shim is the rocker cover gasket. If they are ok you can clean them up and reuse them. They stick like shit to a blanket on the head though! 2 CHESTNUTXE and NZXD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
