Love your unique build thread and I check every once in a while to see what new event has happened. I see where you checked the surface on your head and performed your own "surface modification." My question is what do you have at home that allows you to check the surface for "trueness"? I like your glass/sandpaper "manual" plane/lathe. I do not believe that I have anything at home that could be used as a straight-edge, but if there is, I am sure you can tell me. Thanks.ken
Nice IP locking tool!!!
We had big rain storms last night. Almost half an inch of rain fell. Wish the guys in Australia would have been so lucky... Hope to retorq the head tonight and see if the thing seals. If not, I might try bar's leak before pulling the head again.

As suspected, the final re-torq did nothing to the HG leak. No Bar's Leak. I want it fixed correctly. S&G Imports said they will warranty the parts. OFF WITH THE HEAD !!
Hi Arb, is your aluminum coolant flange a custom part? If not, where can I get one? I don't like the plastic ones. Good luck with the HG!
