I do, strangely. I am not kidding when I say I really want to know how it holds up. I think having a head that didn't go through a billion heat cycles over the last 35 years would be great.

Ya I am Curious myself, I was decently supprised when I got the head and ended up weighing the head I had previously on the engine with the carbon buildup and the new head still weighed more.... Well not now that I removed a lot of material porting it..... Guess that means one of two things it is either a heavy pile of crap or built beefy..... As long as nothing gernades I'll be good...... I'll definetly run the crap out of it and report back

I've been told those heads make a "chink-chink-chink-chink" noise right before they develop oil pressure. Let me know if that is true!
So good to see you back, B.

Nice symmetry on the ports, Brian. Real nice, actually.
Mine usually look more like a Jerry Lewis telethon.
But, they always give me a ribbon anyway.
