The latest...The head was slightly warped so I took it to the local machine shop. It is flat now but in the process he found a crack in the head. It is about 1/2 inch long and starts at the number 2 cyl exhaust valve. :thumbdown: That is just the one he can see. He is going to magnaflux it to see if there are other cracks to contend with and if the visible one extends down into the combustion chamber. Best case I'm looking at having the one crack repaired, worst case it is now a boat anchor.
I've got calls into the local tractor junk yard, and the guys at NAPA are poking around to find one.
If anyone has a good head with 7/16 bolt holes they want to sell me in the greater Salem Oregon area, (or at least in the PNW) shoot me a PM.
My Felpro gaskets got here today.
