Well glad to hear it wasn't as bad as it could have been. How long will it take you to get it back together.

Oh man, and to think that those were one of the nicest done heads I had seen ever!
Actually amazing how little damage has been done. How did this happen? Any 'clues'? Do you run a head temp gauge? This was cylinder 1 right? Usually one of the coolest running ones... BTW, do you know why you have a 5th stud on the top side? IF you would do a 5th stud, between the bottom row would seem more logical, as the bottom head studs are the ones that are longer, so they expand more and would easier loose compression that way at the underside (also the exhaust side to make things worse)... Thanks for sharing. Regards, Walter Last edited by Wally; November 26th 2004 at 09:46.

head is off to be welded tomorrow so should have it back to be remachined and checked by the end of next week,just got to decide weather to go for stronger springs or limit revs to 7000rpm[220lb installed]and what retianers to use?think the valves era trw stianless but would like to try some titanium ones if i had deeper pockets. cheers rob
