next part of the story....

Here we go again.. 3rd time lucky to get the thing back on the road.. After the head gasket gave out on the way back from G-Werks last March.

Finally got the head back from the machine shop at Oselli.

It needed a bit of welding on a few of the coolant galleries to stop the risk of the gasket going again.
I had it mildly ported and polished throughout, matched inlet manifold, new valve guides, triple lapped valve seats and a good de-coking.

Well.. it looks clean.. see how it performs now:

The block isn't too bad after a few hours de-coking, although there is some weird staining in cylinder bore 1?!
I figure this is just where it's been standing for a while. The other bores are pretty fresh..

Sweet as, looks real good. Are they not standard exhaust gaskets ? They are all linked, new part, superseding the single gasket per exhaust port ?
