1977 Buick LeSabre Performance Engines

With Mr. Gasket cam degree bushings you fine tune the camshaft timing of your engine to as little as 1 degree. Even aftermarket timing sets with multiple keyways can’t give the range of adjustment these bushings allow. Retard your camshaft to lower the powerband for more low end torque and midrange horsepower, or advance for more top end power. This kit does even number adjustment 0-8 degrees.

Product Features:

• Advance the cam for increased torque and horsepower
• Tune your powerband for more end torque or increase top end horsepower
• Includes (4) offset bushings and (1) 0 degree bushing
• Cam sprocket dowel pin hole must be drilled to .406¿ (13/32¿) dia.
• Cam sprocket dowel pin hole must be drilled to .406┐ (13/32┐) dia.
• Increase Top-End Horsepower

Our unique Multi-Layered steel head gasket embossment formation process optimizes the embossment radius, reduces stress points, enhances gasket conformability, and provides uniform clamp load distribution. This all results in superior surface contact between block and cylinder head. All head gasket layers/spacers go through an additional process to significantly reduce forming induced stress. Advantages are reduced brittleness in material, increased flexibility and deformation retention. This stabilizes the gasket, resulting in reduced cylinder bore distortion and improved combustion seal fro the extreme cylinder pressures found in high compression, supercharged and turbocharged applications. A proprietary polymer coating ensures the micro-seal of engine coolant and oil fluids.brbrA typical MLS head gasket requires a smoother (30Ra) surface finish than composite head gaskets. Mr. Gasket’s proprietary polymer coating will seal a surface finish twice as rough (60Ra) as a typical MLS head gasket. For high performance street, drag race and oval track use.

Product Features:

• Gasket bore – 4.060″ Thickness – .040″
• Manufactured from 3-layer premium grade stainless steel and state of the art laser cutting
• Optimized sealing embossments seals extreme cylinder pressure
• Provides excellent stability and reduces cylinder bore distortion.
• Proprietary polymer coating ensures the micro seal of engine coolant and oil fluids.
• Ideal for supercharged, turbocharged, nitrous oxide and extreme compression ratio engines
• For high-performance street, drag race and oval track use

COMP Cams offers a complete line of valve stem seals, from the umbrella seals to the positive-stop Teflon seal. These seals are a must to keep unwanted oil from entering the combustion chamber through the clearance in the valve guides. The umbrella seal is normally used when a larger-than-stock diameter spring is used, in the case of a double spring, the positive-stop Teflon seal is used. The umbrella seals require no machining, but with the Teflon seal it is necessary to disassemble the heads and machine the top of the guide with a special .530 diameter cutter. Whenever you are planning an engine overhaul or a cam change, don’t forget the valve seals.

Product Features:

• Work with stock guides and 11/32″ valve stem diameter
• Valve stem oil seals keep unwanted oil from entering the combustion chamber
• Several different types of valve seals are offered

HoleShot 3600 for GM 1965 to 1991 TH400, 425, 375 and 1968 to 1981 TH350, 375B (not 350C) APPLICATION: HoleShot 3600 for GM 1965 to 1991 TH400, 425, 375 and 1968 to 1981 TH350, 375B (not 350C) A higher than stock stall speed as delivered by the Holeshot converter will provide several advantages and benefits in vehicles with modified engines. Many modifications, particularly big cams, tend to reduce low end power and torque. The high stall converter allows the engine to launch the car at higher rpm where more torque is available. The Holeshot is generally a very good choice for the typical street machine that is looking for better launch capability and more strength. Street rods with modified engines will also benefit from a Holeshot converter. If your vehicle is equipped with a plate type nitrous system, you will need a Nitrous Holeshot!! Stall speed listings are based on engines producing 230lb. ft. of torque at 2,500 rpm. More torque at 2,500 rpm will give you more stall speed, less torque at 2,500 rpm will give you less stall speed than the stall speed ratings indicated. Furnace brazed impeller.
