Hi, saw this forum and I hope I can get a cure for my problem ?
I have a Jim Shubert built 392, it has lots of HP parts (for those days) like Aluminum rod's and a 671 GMC blower, hilborn Mec. FI, roller lifters, to name a few. the problem is I have O ringed heads and can not find out info on the application as to what gaskets to run, I was forced to let an idiot baby sit my boat for a few years and he lunched a crank so I have no idea what he did when he half assed tryed to cover his ignorance , any way we do not comunicate unles it is in brail so I do not know what was in the engine as far as head gaskets, basicly oil and water do not mix and I need a cure, any info will be a help.
The new kid on the site
PS HELP
and thanks

Thanks dblAdigger I am in the prosses of tearing down my top end and may give you a call soon I am interested in ( or concentrating on ) the head gaskets and O rings, I also have a crack in one cylinder between the valves that I am going to have pinned and doweled, I may want to pick up a set of heads and I will be interested in some rockers also so I will check you out

I wouldn't try to pin those cracks. They are, prety much, normal and cause no problem unless they leak water. I have considerable experience with these heads and suggest you call me before taking them anyplace.

You know, I am glad you said that because I was thinking they are not leaking water and is due to the gasket I use last time which basicly went over the O ring and kept the gasket from laying flat . I prefer to be carefull with this stuff and the dude who took it apart without me present is not a good sorce of info on just what it had in it when he disasembled it
OK thanks it is the week end so I am going to try to get wrenchin and I will contact you on a land line.
