I'd have to agree with you Jeff. Anytime you break the torque loose from the head it's best to replace the gasket. You right there. Why take the risk of having to do it all over again? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

And as far a drivability and gas mileage goes, it's all in your right foot. I've had a 305/525 cam in a 327 that could get 16mpg, if you could keep your foot out of it! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

If you don't want to have that "race car" cam all the time you can advance the timing a little bit to hide the loping. That was a cruel trick I played on many o' unsuspecting victims. Mwuahahaaaahaaaaa! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
