I don’t think we’ll ever know what the issue was with that head other than something in the geometry wasn’t right. Lots of people telling me they never heard of such a thing including me.

Well hopefully this salves the issue. I imagine your grandson is excited to get behind the wheel by now.I don’t think we’ll ever know what the issue was with that head other than something in the geometry wasn’t right. Lots of people telling me they never heard of such a thing including me.
I don't remember if you ever said, but on that one cylinder - was the lifter preload (before running) enough that you couldn't spin the push rod?
I have used EQ heads and had bought but didn't get a chance to use a set of CIFIC heads. EQ ports are larger and killed low rpm power, the CIFIC used standard stock ports with harden insert ex. valve seats - machining look better on them than on the EQ.
I wonder if that head was fly cut, or surface ground?
That sounds sweet now. I want to do the rocker panels and cab corners on mine. Love to see some more pictures or a write up on that.
The 3rd Gen DIY section might be best for something like that in my opinion. I'm sure there are a number of folks that would like to do it but have no idea where to start.Will do. I’ll be gone for a week but I’ll start a new thread. What category should I post it in?
