HHMmmm, There's one for the reference files! Stripped head bolt(s?)
causing leakage under the valve covers, making pinpointing the leak
impossible. I wonder if the ARP bolts not threaded
the full length of the shaft contributed. I've removed the last few
threads and rounded the end of the shaft on bolts to make finding
the hole and starting the thread easier. It seems to work,
especially with long bolts or threaded rod where there's no
visibility or guidance. I've never understood the 12 point bolt
heads, except as a way to make us buy sockets with no other use.

Definitely feel like I am on the right track thanks
to tons of help. It will be next Saturday before I get a chance
to put it back together - I'll send an update, for sure.
Regarding the intake bolts, we might want to file this one
in the lessons-learned bank. I purchased/installed ARP part #
144-2101 named "Bolts, Intake Manifold, Chromoly, Black Oxide,
12-Point Head, Chrysler, Big Block, Kit."
Take a look at them compared to the 3/8-16 x 1 3/4 bolts
from the hardware store (attached). Let's not even bring up
that the ARP bolts were $36 and I got out of the hardware
store for I think $11, including the Snickers bar I chomped on
the way home given the wife wasn't with me.

What great interaction! Just a bunch of well wishers
trying to help one of their own.

Well. I finally got the stroker to
light up, but I've got some issues. I hope it's not
serious, but it doesn't sound good. I had to
advance the timing to about 50 degrees to get it to
start, and after break-in, I can't get it to idle
below about 1,800 RPM. And there is an obvious miss
when you kick the throttle. My 1st thought on the
idle was a vacuum leak, but I ran some propane
around the intake and nothing happened. The timing
and the miss have me concerned. Could I have
possibly screwed up the timing chain marks? Any
thoughts?
The good news is I have awesome oil pressue and
no leaks. It sounds freaking wicked. Here's a
video:
Thanks,
Jim
