I've been reading the posts and done the related searches on this subject. I learned that 89-93 style heads part #'s started with E9SE- ,while the 94-95 style heads part #'s start with F4SE-. well the SC heads I recently purchased (when replacing my head gaskets), the part # started with niether of those #'s it started with part # F3.I've also read posts that say the valve cover gaskets are different from 89-93 and 94-95 heads, the reason why I'm tryin to figure this out is I have an oil leak on my driver side valve cover ever since I put the car back 2gether,runs great ,just leaks oil. when I first took it on a test drive it caught on fire because of the oil leak. I then re-tightened all the valve cover bolts, and the leak was still there. I went back to
advance auto and bought a
second fel-pro blue gasket to make sure the first one wasn't screwed up
and then I shortened the valve cover bolts and then re-tightened them,well that slowed it down but the valve cover is still leaking. and I can't figure out how to get it to stop. very embarrassing when i'm sittin at a red light and people are rollin up their window cuz the oil leaking on the manifolds and burning off. I'm wondering if the heads I have with the part # F3 are to blame???? sorry for the loooong post . any input would be appreciated and does anybody else have heads that start with F3?
