I have had my engine bored to a 416 and i am running a hot cam, new timing chain and have rejeted my carb when we put a pipe on, running a hmf pipe but the rings are sticking to my piston and loosing all compression, my engine is running really hot, we have changed clutch cables like crazy b/c the eng. is running to hot. are we having a jet and air problem or what? I have lossed three top ends b/c of this. I need input!

what are u running for jets? make sure your timing is good and valve lash isnt to tight. check header crush gaskets for leaks...
