Also, the Rover heads still have them, although it's a different shape. I'm just speculating here, b; /html/mgb-v8/2003-12/msg00054.html (12,150 bytes)

It might be good to define the problem and cure it before intalling a new head. -- Best Regards, Tom; /html/mgb-v8/2003-12/msg00055.html (9,111 bytes)

I know that contaminated antifreeze can corrode aluminum like crazy. It's the CC nearest the end of the head, and right next to the kidney-shaped (?) opening that connec; /html/mgb-v8/2003-12/msg00056.html (9,870 bytes)

The CNC marks I saw in sprint-car heads were rather rough (guessing eighth-inch high ridges). Matt /// //; /html/mgb-v8/2003-12/msg00057.html (10,682 bytes)

Grind all the corrosion out of the one cc that is bad and then match all the other to it. This will give you smooth and balance combustion; /html/mgb-v8/2003-12/msg00059.html (9,788 bytes)
