[Healeys] Head Gasket Woes Part Two

[gradea1 at charter.net]

Steven-that's a real heavy piston at .060 (compression ratio 9:1?) Was
there any defect in head prior to assembly? Magnafluxed? There is an
outfit Midwest Cylinder Head that can repair that for about $500, or
else is on to Denis Welch for about $4K.
I just had my head off and checked-they shaved .003 to get it flat.
Fingers crossed-head gasket was not blown, but water in oil. I'm
hoping it was water intrusion from rocker studs. Hank

 Luckily the pistons weren't frozen, nor the rings in the pistons, but
when I turned the head over to inspect, I got the really bad news.

 Oh well. I guess some JB Weld might hold!? Ha! Damn it Jim.
