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..
