Re: 0331 cyl head crack?????
invisible bolts? use a magic wand.
or you mean manifold studs? use 2 nuts,. put them both on. lock them and then back out the stud.
you really need to find out if your head is bad or your block is bad first.
low comp could be blown pistons rings.
before you tear down any motor do a comrpession test...and leak down test. leak down test is for the head.
as far as a crack. you would have coolant spilling out. have a shop check it . they usualy charge $20 or free just to visual it and give you a thumbs up or down
Re: 0331 cyl head crack?????
Personally, i would search for a replacement to get rid of the 0331 head if i already had it off. But as long as this one is in good shape and you treat it right (keep it from overheating) it should perform just as well. I just like the confidence of not worrying about that stuff. But if you do want to keep the head have a machine shop magnaflux it to check for cracks. Its a test that identifies cracks to small to see normally and is not expensive.
