jake brake for y blocks

Post by ICEMAN6166 »

good idea for diesel, bad for y block.
problem was no way to control it, it always let the compression out.
no wonder it ran like crap.

so off i went with heads to my friends shop to grind some valves. good thing i had extras.
no hardened seats just a grind and reassemble.
ended up with one car head and one truck head. does not seem to matter as it runs like 1966 again now.

not the best pics , bad sun angle butr back together and clean once again.


2 y block oilpans, which would you use? no brainer for me i used the red one.

My 292 is still in the truck, but I expect a very similar sight awaits me when I tear it down.
