CraCkEd Heads
I have a stock 1985 Corvette with 72,00 original miles. Cracked the heads and heard that this is common right in the middle of the head. Looking for beefed up heads at a reasonable price without have to change cam yet increase compression just a bit from the stock 9.0 to around 10 - 10.5. Also any recommended gasket sets out there that I should look at or someone has good luck with a particular brand? Any advice appreciated and really needed since I just got the car and realizing that this thing could be a real headache. Do not want to lose faith in this car...... :rofl:

look into the aluminum heads used later on... 86-91... have them worked over and you can get some nice power bumps... but you will almost have to upgrade the intake.

I was told that the later model heads have a center bolt that my stock head do not have. Is this true?
