Stroker will idle perfect but won't rev AGAIN
« on: 10/ 8/09 - 07:17PM »
back to this problem, I built this stoker engine. Bored it over .30, 4.2 crank and rods, 30 over pistons, comp cam, ford #24 injectors at 40lbs with 91 fuel in it....ect. Before i couldn't get it to idle or rev (solved the idle problem, timing was a few off and head gasket didn't seat right). Now it idles fine and is loud as hell! :), but when i try to give it a little gas and hold it the engine acts like it wanting to die and sounds awful. any idea's what i should check now?

It was the head gasket.
