It was all I had laying around. It will get me by until the new battery and engine ground arrives in a couple days. All I need it to do is start and run somewhat reasonably.
Im kinda considering getting a new head though. The front cam seal oil leak is pissing me off, although I got it to not leak as much now since I pulled the cams polished the cam seal journal, and rtv'd the hell out of the seal. Also let the seal soak in stop leak for a hour hopping it would soften up the seal a little. Seems to have worked a bit. But the head looked tired and misused. Cams were burnt, had a life of being intoxicated by Pennzoil, and I think the valve stem sleeves are out of spec.
I see it as either spend $580 on oil, or have my machinist work his magic and not have any more head problems. Only problem is its a 58 mile drive to his shop. But the fact he made my 4.7L Stroker run perfectly without any defects, the cleanliness and organization of his shop, knowledgeable employees, and spotless new equiptment is worth the gas.
