Looking good ls1morethanyou, just button up the PAS leak and you're back in business and rolling.

Dusty e-mailed me to say he'd finally dug you out of the 'brown and smelly'

but we did learn that all heads should be measured, and the measurement should be verified against the assembly manual before they are machined.

Why? Are you thinking the .005 they took off the heads made the studs not work?

I/we think they heads were heavily machined prior to his machine shop work.
