I rcvd a used head a couple of days ago thanks to the generosity of Jack Wright
Removed head from spare engine today took couple of hours, 1 hr prep with pbblaster and liight tapping of head bolts. Half came out stud and nut together
(all had good threads) A couple of nuts needed vice grips as they had rounded heads
Gentle use of screwdrivers wedges and blocks of wood persuaded the head\off
in 2o minutes,
I noticed that all of the oval holes in the block nearest the manifold were
blocked completely, I tried to clean them out briefly. The companion
oval holes in the old head were not blocked. I assume they are for cooling
the head??
Suggestions on clearing them appreciated.
The cylinder walls and tops of pstons looked great as do the valves.
I have ordered head gasket etc and studs nuts from MMI
Thanks
