got the head down to jim putney today. got more problems than anticipated. the timing chain guids were bad so there are massive grooves in the cover, it wore through and thats why i had milk in the top end. So i have to get new guides and a new front cover. The head gasket was slighly blown but it was a felpro so thats a good reason why. It got hot and I am hoping the head is not warped.
