    Re: Anybody heard from Gaba?????

    HAH! nope... no one has heard from me! thanks to Billy for pointing to me to this thread! :D
    347 is running, running well, i am still listening for wierd noises and clickety clacks.

    Runing a 600CFM summit carb on it , and headman headers I bought from Paul .

    Yesterday I was in the garage redoing my PCV sheild/ baffle as I noticed an oil puddle coing from the carb butterflies .. realizing its been sucking up and burning oil from the PCV ...

    and putting ARP hardware and lock washers on the header bolts (half of them LOL as accessible) to get the headers to stay on and not get loose..

    It sounds good, I bet it will run a bit better with the less oil it burns LOL :D

    It seems to be making good power , I am waiting on the second oil change now. anohter 1000 miles or so, and we shall see

    CLickety clacks coming from the full roller system are apparently normal. nothing is loose in there so that is that :D

    how are you ?
     

    If it aint broke, I have'nt tried to "Fix" it yet!
