oinojo Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hey guys, i just put on my n42 head on my f54 block and im a lil worried that im not getting oil to the valvetrain. This happened to me before back in march when i installed this head. Since then i had the head checked out and repaired. Now i have installed one of the older type head gaskets 77-78... i didnt see any significant differences between this and the newer ones (F54 81-83). My head has both internal and external oiling, but when i started the car (without valvecover) i could not see oil flaring up like i would with my p79 head. To those who are running bother oiling systems, at idle are you getting any visible oil when running at idle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Always match the head gasket to the block. The ports in the heads are all about the same but the blocks are very different. You will also get over heating problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
