Skankweasel Loses His Head!



The head is being sent down to Eric at the Historic Engine Company for him to work his magic.
The inlet rocker box mating face has obviously been skimmed at some time, clipping the guides in the process.


Combustion chambers are in great shape, although one inlet seat is sitting deeper than the others.


This picture was meant to show the standard inlet ports but it hasn't quite worked out. In standard form the ports are very smooth and of even cross section down their length. Don't know if Eric will feel it can be improved upon, we'll have to wait for that answer.
