Automatic Compression Release Installation.
Shoulda Coulda Woulda. Oh well.
I'm going to have to install compression releases. I stalled her out in a construction zone. Stop and go, one lane, barriers on both sides, and on a uphill, hot engine. I thought the starter was going to rip out of her. Plus the extra load on a hot soak from a gas stop. I decided to install the MoCo's kit. I want automatic because of the issue I mentioned. Don't want to fiddle with manual releases when folks are honking at me. Questions: 41 When I pull the heads do I also need to remove the cylinders to install new base o rings? 41.1 Can a good dealer service dept handle it or should i find a independent machine shop drill them and perhaps clean/open the stock heads up some? 41.1A Any recommendations and past experience with this would be appreciated.

Mebbe try a higher-torque starter.
I ended up puttin' one in the GTO after having the same problems you describe. Stock starter couldn't handle a heat-soaked, high compression engine, especially one that had the initial timing advanced a few degrees. The new starter spins that pup over effortlessly now. Bonus, in your case: you won't have to tear half the motor down to redo the heads.

Rivera Primo 66 tooth starter gear with 9 tooth pinion...... one of my better mods!! That sucker turns over anything in 120*"s fresh after running hard and a quick fuel stop....

If you're talking about your 2008 it doesn't have base gaskets so you don't have to pull the cylinders.

I'm going with the ACR from the MoCo.
Just need to find a shop to modify the heads.

The tool from the MoCo to install the ACR's in the center of the head is $950.
The tool from Jim's is to install MCR's next to the spark plugs. I'm doin' ACR's.

Come to think of it, I'm there, so I might as well pull the jugs off and have them sprayed black.
 It's looking like the Guru who tuned Orbit's 88 is going to be doing my heads.
