well sorry for bringing this thing back from the dead, in a unrelated note I ended up replacing the frame rails in my volare while waiting for parts from here or there, and it sucks, every single thing about it sucked, from cleaning up and fully welding the crappy factory spot and 1" weld beads, to boxing in and eliminating the factory jig holes, except painting them, that I enjoyed

from this


to this


ALL FAITH AND MEASURED 50+ times






got this built up after several federal mogul bearing issues.....





and then i sent the heads out to get a good cleaning which worked great except I found 2 tiny cracks in a valve guide boss....

and this happened



better here on the bench the at 6,500 through the first shift


So the heads are going back to the shop monday for a set of guides, and probably gonna do hardened seats at the same time, not unless I can blend this out without needing to replace the guide, anyone in FL got a spare 906 head ?? sometimes I swear its like its not meant to be, that Gods saying hey dumb a$$ should have stuck with the slant.....
