I believe these are the ones with the light blue interior lining.
oh and BEGi will sell you this. I believe they use the lined stuff. And if they dont stock it, they can get it. Just call Steph and tell her what size and how long.

Now, if you deck your head too much or the block, you are now reducing the space between the valves and the piston if this were to happen. My block for instance had to have a bunch taken off the head to remove a bunch of detonation and now my motor is "interference". My cams/valves were timed correctly and we measured piston to valve clearance and I know how far I can adjust my cam gears before the piston would hit the valves when the piston is at TDC.

Do you have upgraded valve springs? It's quite possible that if you had some work done to the block/head mating surfaces (removed material) and your valves floated during an over-rev that they made contact.

Do not forget the likelihood that I've somewhat misrepresented his statements to some degree. I decked/surfaced the head years ago when the engine was built, I now assume it's "an interference engine" and will get annual, blue timing belts.

That's likely a good call. Unfortunately without solid lifters it is nearly impossible to do a piston/valve clearance check. Do you have solids or hyd lifters?
I'm always terrified of my gears slipping. I have about 4* of movement either way from 0* on the cam gears before contact. I am paranoid and always check.

What are everyone's thoughts on trying to put tube-nuts for AN fittings on my heater core? I backed-out of doing this a while ago, but I'm interested again. I imagine the -10 37* flare tool is not cheap, but it would be really nice to be totally void of rubber hoses on this car.

I've flared a few AN hardline fittings before. They were brake lines though. It's not too hard... but practice on a few parts before hand. It should be easier on bigger tube like the header core. Up here in Canada you can rent the tools from Canadian Tire for free (just pay a dep). Are there any places like that near you?
