is it warped? aluminum heads are very delicate. If it warped, that damage could follow very soon after

This is a 10yr old well sorted out combo {Lynn Balek]. We don't thing timing was a factor. NO signs of detonation. Just stuff happens.

I used copper head gaskets and wire and receiver grooves for a combo like that.

i'm not familiar with that number, anyone else?
No such Fel Pro number so it is a typo. Only Fel Pro gasket that would be good at 14:1 is the 1105. The 1105 is for big bore engines and it is 0.051 thick so it requires a special setup. Cometic is probably the way to go on this engine.

I know every combo is different, but I made best power at 34 degrees with my CNC345cc -1 Heads on the dyno...
Runs OK there for me and less stress on the bearings etc IMO.
Good luck with it!
