Re: 1984 5.7L heads are cracked, repair options
Well i found a good deal on at set of rebuilt 333882 heads. They are basically the earlier version on the head my boat came with. They are heavier and are not prone to cracking like the 624 heads. So for simplicity that's the route I chose. I know they will bolt right on and I don't have to worry about changing the intake or compression ratio. My next question is what gaskets to use? I see "marine" head gaskets are about $25 each. Then I see entire top engine gasket sets for $42 but they are regular automotive. What's the deal on what I really need?
