Thanks for all replies.Shop is backed up, so space for the car is limited-work
will commence in 12-14 days. Yes, head will be off as first step. Do I
understand correctly that IF the problem is a blow out between 3 and 4 a new
gasket is all that would be required, whereas if the gasket were intact I
should look further afield? (Warped/cracked head or uneven deck?) Will verify
the operation of the valves. Do I need new bolts/nuts? Last time I had this
head off, someone said "DO NOT retork" while others said ..."a MUST @ 500
miles." What's a cabinetmaker to do?
